We are dairy farmers here in Ontario Canada, I am mainly active on the mini donkey forum. Dairy farming is a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Please do not feed your donkeys alfalfa!!!!! If your donkey is not working, breeding or in foal, it will do quite well on just grass hay....the less alfalfa the better and the lower the protein content of the hay the better (less than 9% is best). If your donkey is heavily worked, in foal or...

Hi Everyone, I am thinking of clipping my donkeys this year and I was just wondering what type of clippers/blades you use. I live on a diry farm and we clip our show cows, I believe I could just them and standard 84 clipper blades although the cows get clipped awfully short....so after that...

Sorry I cant help you but I went throught the same situation this weekend. The jenny I brought home is very pregnant, full udder and her hooves are quite long. She even seems a little sore on them...I thought it might be best to let her foal before I get her hoves trimmed....but maybe I should...

Hi there, I have a 5 year old miniature gelding donkey gelding who was just gelded a year ago. He was a terror when I got him. Jumping everything in his sight and acting VERY studish. He maintained a real attidtde until the last few months...(it can take up to a yuear for all donkey hormones to...
