Why Farmers Use Donkeys to Protect Livestock....Meet Tammy The Terror!

What they say

Hide

your chickens. And I don't recommend a livestock guardian dog unless it's ultra ultra well-trained and has a proven history of life with poultry. I do recommend getting some guard geese. That will help. So, hopefully that clarifies things. We got the cows out here eating. We got Tammy and that's Spaz running around with her new baby. And Tammy's as calm as a kitten. But rest assured, when I had my German Shepherds and I would come out here in the pasture, the German Shepherds knew not to enter the pasture. And if they did, Tammy would be on them so fast. And so would these cows. Cows are robust animals. They're very strong and they will hurt you. These are 1,600 lb kittens when they want to be. and they're well 12 to,600lb kittens when they want to be and they're 12-,600 lb instruments of death. If you don't know what you're doing, don't turn your back on your bull. Keep an eye on your cows. Get yourself a nice guard donkey if you're having some predator issues and you should have no problems. But be sure be sure that that donkey was raised with cattle and try and get a female donkey if you can. Male donkeys are much more aggressive. They will bite the tail off of your cow. They will bite the ear off of your cow. They will bite anything off of a cow. Ask me how I know. Tammy had a baby out here probably three years ago. And that baby was a male. It was trying to breed her and it was biting the cows. It was harassing the cows. So, try and get a female if you can. Why doesn't
