This, my friends, is the single most authoritative reporting done on goat farming you would ever need. I don't know why you might need it, nor am I to judge anyone should they need it a little more than most. But there ya go.

After reading it, if anyone can come up with some research into the use of guard donkeys, I'm all ears on that one!

UPDATE: This is fascinating. The Texas Department of Agriculture has a reader on the use of donkeys as guardians of one's flock.

And in case there was ever any doubt ....
