Horse & Donkey

order Perissodactyla - family Equidae (odd-toed ungulate)

Donkey Equus asinus

This is Jake, our guard donkey.  We had problems with coyotes ripping up calf ears.  This donkey hates dogs with an insane passion.  Truck doors have been dented because a dog was inside.  Coyotes are just little dogs to him.  No more ripped up ears.  He is worth his special bag of horse food.

Dogs are bad.  Cats are another story.   He has stomped near and around them but does not kill them.
