That was interesting Chelle.  I was just driving along last week thinking what use a donkey could be put to other than nibbling grass.

Yes. I also thought so.

I want to train a donkey to a small cart too... for lugging stuff into and out of my food forest along narrow paths I am now making. If it can increase guarding of livestock in some way too that would be super.
