Since one of the donkeys bit and stomped Liam – we imagine it was Simon – the donkeys have been exiled to the side pasture, where they will remain until the lambs get bigger and stronger and faster. I believe Simon did not recognize the lamb as a sheep, he saw him as an unwanted intruder, even as a predator. I have no doubt that once the lambs get bigger are look more like the other sheep, the donkeys will accept and protect them.

The donkeys are used to getting their own way, and they seem a bit irritated to be kept away from the Pole Barn but we are feeding them hay twice a day and they have a nice field to wander in. Suck it up, guys.
