Orono Weekîy Times, Wednesday, May 8, 1991-19 Bill Bramah.s Ontario The first time 1 saw donkeys protecting sheep was down around the Bay of Quinte a few years ago where a shepherd had three donkeys guarding his big flock, At that time is was a rarity ini Ontario. But guard donkeys are becoming increasingly comnion on sheep farms and "Donkeys Unlimited" bas been doing a brisk business. John went down to Texas last year where they have been using donkeys ta watch sheep for over 150 years. 'They were surprised that the idea was new to us," said John.. "They'd neyer think of raising slteep without having a donkey around." As a first move, the partniers had 20 females brought up ta big curve Acres farm in Oro where Henry keeps horses. The femnales or Jennys (Jennets is the correct naie) are far more effective for protection purposes than the males, kn own as Jacks. John and Henry sold th e first lot in no timne, and when 1 was there another flock of thirty had just arrived, Off by himiself was Texas Tyrone, the only Jack among them. A big spotted donkey, he will sire additional stock. There are three general sizes of the friendly animnais. The so- called mammoth, the standard - usually the kind for protection, and the miniature, which is ideal for children ta ride. The sheep seem to love the donkeys and the big bad wolf better beware. The gentie Jennys can suddenly become hell on hooves if predators try to attack their woolly littie buddies. 1I larned a lot about donkey recently. The humble donkey (Equus Asinus) was domesticated long before the horse, and evolved froin wild bands roaming in Africa. Donkeys, burros, asses, are ail the sanie animai.

They import donkeys from Texas and seil them ta sheep farmers here. Donkeys are in great demand these days ta protect the sheep from predators such as wolves or coyotes.
