Thanks for all the fun comments. :)
...<b>Hi Everybody,</b><br />Thanks for all the fun comments. :)<br /><br /><b>Hi Heidi,</b><br />Some donkeys can be excellent livestock guardians. I have a friend whose donkeys won't even let the family dog into their pasture. While we were hoping our donkeys would help protect the sheep from coyotes, they don't seem to be that kind of donkey. ;) Fortunately <a href="http://www.farmgirlfare.com/2010/02/thursday-dose-of-cute-girl-power.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Daisy and Marta,</b></a> our livestock guardian dogs, are doing an excellent job of keeping away all predators.<br /><br />As for donkey books, we've been enjoying a new book from Hobby Farms called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1933958952/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow"><b>Donkeys: Small Scale Donkey Keeping.</b></a> It has lots of helpful information, especially for beginning donkey owners, and is a bargain <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1933958952/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow"><b>from amazon.com for just $8.94.</b></a><br /><br />Another good book is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/160342038X/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow"><b>The Donkey Companion: Selecting, Training, Breeding, Enjoying & Caring for Donkeys.</b></a><br /><br />You can also find some good information on The American Donkey and Mule Society's website, <a href="http://lovelongears.com" rel="nofollow"><b>LoveLongears.com.</b></a><br /><br />No matter whether they do any guarding or not, I definitely recommend bringing donkeys into your life. They're low maintenance and lots of fun to have around. I didn't know anything about them when we <a rel="nofollow"><b>acquired Donkey Doodle Dandy,</b></a> and now I can't imagine life without them. :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-56794531501150026742011-01-19T14:15:41.739-06:002011-01-19T14:15:41.739-06:00Hi Farm Girl, I'm in the process of ordering s...Hi Farm Girl, I'm in the process of ordering some books on raising different livestock. Do you have a recommendation for a good Donkey book? And what do you think about them as guardians? I know you have dogs that guard the sheep.
