Not sure where to put this post, but here goes... I'm looking at getting either a small donkey or mule to help protect my small flock when I'm out at work. Does anyone here have any experience with either from the guarding perspective? Thanks!
Is a Donkey/Mule cheaper to keep than an Anatolian Shepherd? (which also has other added benefits if you're a zoo)
From Wiki: The Anatolian Shepherd Dog (Turkish: Anadolu çoban köpeği) is a breed of dog which originated in the Anatolia region of central Turkey.
It is rugged, large and very strong, with good sight and hearing that allow it to protect livestock. With its high speed and agility, it is able to run down a predator with great efficiency.
Lol.. not a problem. Good thing for me I've already got a wet vac, and my floors are built to carry multiple Americans, so the weight of a donkey should be no problem.
