Donkeys are typical equids, generally smaller than the domestic horse, though mammoth jacks can be as large as 17 hands (170cm at the shoulder).
These hybrids are almost always sterile because horses have 64 chromosomes and donkeys have 62, producing offspring with 63 chromosomes.
The /ɑ:s/ pronunciation of "ass" was eventually restored to /æs/ in order to reserve the distinction, but not without the curious consequence of American English losing the word "arse" entirely and handing over its meaning to "ass", which is also a curse word.

 Your Place - Donkeys
Now, we always keep all the donkeys away from young animals but the adults look after themselves ok. I too have seen a jack playing rather roughly (for the sheep) with a sheep, but horses play football with sheep too.
Other animals are not good company, and they tend to be sold or die of old age before the donkey does, and with other animals you are trying to keep them fat enough but with donkeys you must keep them thin enough.
On Ponui Is there are 2 farms, Chamberlains in the north and those that were recently on TV in the south.

The run to Ponui island at the far end was in pouring rain and at times the visibility was so low we could hardly recognise, or even see, Waiheke Island as we sped past it.
The forecast was SE 15-20 so we decided on Chamberlains bay which is on the edge of the Ruthe channel between Ponui and Rotoroa Islands.
Unfortunately the Donkey was short of carrots and we were struggling to make 4.5 knots in the steadily increasing seas and almost straight into wind.
