mini john. his mate passed and he's fine with it but i never wanted a donkey. mother in law did and shes in a home now. he knows how to lead and all that he just wont. he will only come for snacks because he's an ahole. but would be good to protect larger livestock.. good with my dogs , chickens, cat , horses, pigs. sounds the donkey siren anytime someone pulls in the driveway. acts like he's starving to death all the time. no maintenance, lives off of air pasture alarm..
