He was gelded over a year ago. I have seen him display this behavior with other jacks, as well as allowing himself to be mounted by a jack, but I have not seen attempt to mount a jennet before. The vet said that he was not proud cut. I remember that he held up a gland and said that. I...

What does it mean when a jack is "proud cut"? I had a jack gelded and the vet said that he wasn't proud cut. He still gets erections and even tried to mount our jennet. I hope he's fixed! That jennet is his mother. What does this mean?

We recently purchased a spotted mini as our herd sire because I want spotted grandbabies! Anyway, I have a jennet that has come into season, so we pastured them together and he doesn't seem to get it! He's real unsure about what to do. He mounts her but he isn't "ready" (if you know what I...

I always heard that geldings are called johns. Female mules are called Mollies, right?

We give our's just very little sweet feed. More of a treat than anything. They fight over it. They eat grass in the summer and hey in the winter. They like alfalfa but its too rich and I'm afraid they will founder. We buy sudan hey. Mine need to go on a diet because they are getting fat necks.

My herdsire brays frequently all the time. My gelding brays when he wants to be petted, as does my yearling jack. My jennies don't bray at all. Before I had donks, I lived where were guard donks and I liked hearing them bray. I live on a road where there are houses about an acre away from...

I stalled them up for a couple of days and I saw him nurse so I put them back out to pasture yesterday. Yes, it was sad, and I was peeved with my H for clipping him. He had clipped our adults and thought that Newt would feel better in the heat if he did him. We have learned our lesson. No...

I looked for my jennet Sarah, to foal for the past two months since I didn't know when she was bred. Finally, after we gave up, she foaled Saturdy morning. A lovely jennet we named Clara. I was there right after the birth to bond with the baby and she's a love. The more you want it to...

My husband read that it was okay to clip a donkey after three months of age. Yesterday he decided to clip Newt, who is a little over 3 months of age. Afteerward, his mther would not accept him and he was bullied unmercifully by the rest of the herd, a yearling jack and gelding. She would not...
