What happens here

The farmer introduces a donkey in the pasture and explains its crucial role in protecting the calves from predators. He notes that donkeys will stick with the herd and kick any perceived threats, such as coyotes, more effectively than cows. He clarifies that one donkey is sufficient, as it will bond with the cattle herd, whereas two donkeys tend to bond with each other.

Goal: Explain the role of donkeys in herd protection

of folks have asked why do you have a donkey out there with your cows well the donkey is with the cows so that they are protected so these young calves are pretty much helpless the cows aren't as fast of movers and they don't kick quite as hard as the donkey so the donkey will stick with the herd if you have two donkeys they will stick together if you have one donkey they will stick with the herd and they will help to keep the baby calves safe i don't know what that cow's problem is right there i think she's having an anxiety attack what's the matter dude what's what's the anxiety issue going on huh i don't get it pretty funny let's go check out the cows that we currently have we're probably going to have to ride way over here
