Donkeys of most breeds, including the Miranda donkey, can often be used to guard livestock. Standard size or larger donkeys may make an excellent guardian for your goats, sheep, and other livestock. Donkeys, in general, can be very territorial and aggressive when it comes to defending their territory. They do not spook as easily as horses. When danger threatens, a donkey will typically bray loudly to discourage the threat. If this doesn’t work, he may charge the threat and use his teeth and hooves to fight. If you choose a donkey, you should introduce him slowly to your heard as you will want them to accept him as their protector. You will also want the donkey to accept all the territory as his to protect while respecting other livestock that already roam there.
