Introducing a New Born to the Herd

At Tindall Heritage Farm we believe strongly in letting mom and baby spend adequate time alone. This allows the baby to learn behaviors from its mother. It also decreases stress on mom because she doesn’t need to worry about another jenny bothering or injuring her baby as could happen in a big herd setting. On average, we keep mom and baby together for 4 weeks before introducing them back into our herd.

Since we have very friendly donkeys, this process is usually uneventful and stress free for mom and baby. Our most recent introduction was our first time mom, Sage, and her baby Peppercorn. Their introduction to the herd went off without a hitch and we captured their first moment together in the photo above.
