[blackbelly] RE: donkeys

[Rick Krach]

Cecil, I have a guard donkey, also, and she has never been anywhere near the 
birthing ewes. In fact, she's never near the sheep in general unless there's 
a threat. Might your area just have been too small so they were forced to be 
close together?  It's too bad you didn't get rid of just one donkey.

Rick:
Sometimes things just happen.  I pulled one 2 weeks ago. ... Yesterday
afternoon, she had 2 lambs.  They were in  full development, but my 2 
"guard" donkeys
stomped them to death.    The " guard " donkeys are leaving this 
morning in
about 30  minutes.
