Many of you have already met my best friends on the farm. For those who haven’t, allow me to introduce you to the biggest personalities & the best stress relievers, my donkey family members. Make sure to check out each photo to learn more about my buddies!
Fun facts:
Donkeys are not stubborn… they are HIGHLY intelligent. They think & figure & weigh their options before making a cautious decision. They teach us patience on the daily. 😂
You can never have just one. Donkeys must have another donkey to roam about with. If not, they can become severely depressed & can die of heartache. 🥺 They form deep bonds, usually have a bestie, and will grieve if there is loss.
Donkeys never forget. They remember who is kind, who is mean, know who to trust and who not to… meaning they love the farrier (the guy that gives them “pedicures”) & hate the vet. 😂
Donkeys are VERY protective. They are a wonderful guard against coyotes, but beware… they do not see any difference in a dog or a coyote and will treat them the same. 😳
A donkey’s bray can be heard up to 3 miles away! If you get the chance to hear them call when you come for a visit, you will feel it in your soul. 😆
Their beautiful ears move in all directions and allow them to hear up to 60 miles away. There is definitely no sneaking around them!
Donkeys come in different shapes, sizes, & colors. We have 2 standard, and 4 minis.
All have the cross marking on their back. They grow extra hair in the winter, shed it in the summer, and roll in the mud or dust to help keep the flies off.
And finally…. Nothing will steal your heart like this bunch. ❤️
