Donkeys of Shepherd's Cross

• Donkeys are amazing guardians for the sheep flock and cattle herd.  They protect against coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats and bears  
• We keep a donkey in every pasture of sheep and cattle
• The donkeys even lead the ewes into the pen after they have delivered their lambs.  They are very gentle and careful of the lambs.
• If there is a lost lamb, a donkey will often stand right beside or over top of the lamb to protect it, until the shepherd arrives to assist.
