Breeds of Livestock - Poitou Donkey |
 | | It is said that the donkey and the practice of mule breeding was introduced to the Poitou region of France by the Romans. |
| | The two breeds, Poitou (donkey) and Mulassier (horse) seemed to have been developed side by side for the sole purpose of producing mules of exceptional quality. |
| | The feet of a Poitou are larger than those of other donkey breeds and covered with the long hair of the legs. |
