Brett MacNally / Hee-Haw Hollow: We have bear out here, coyotes, bobcats and you would see the tracks of those all throughout this pasture Once we got the donkeys, we never saw another track from a predator
John Lauritsen / Reporting: It’s believed that donkeys are smarter than most dogs They’ve been known to open up doors on their own and let themselves out of the barn
Brett MacNally / Hee-Haw Hollow: The reason we got into the mammoth donkeys is there are very few people breeding them in the US, and we want to help support that breed as well
