It's a very common sight here in TN. Going to a friends house, I pass either several cattle ranches or one large one and there's always a donkey mixed in with the cattle.
Common here as well

Donkeys work well. A lot of sheep herds have a llama here in AZ. Same thing. They stomp the coyotes into rugs.

Most people with sheep or goats have them here. They're hell on coyotes.

I had a 1/4 horse that hated dogs, coyotes etc. I buried a few when I showed in morning to feed. Gentle horse otherwise. Just like being a flamingo dancer at times. 
I had a double registered Quarter Horse/Palamino that hated dogs/yotes. I had a Britney Puppy training for bird hunting and she went into the field with my horse and that horse ran her down and stomped her. Luckily I ran in and chased the horse away. The pup had a broken leg. I had to get a new cast on her leg every couple of weeks.I had a 1/4 horse that hated dogs, coyotes etc. I buried a few when I showed in morning to feed.

We have a lot of Yotes where we live and had goats but the yotes never came around. I guess because we had Samson a Bernese Mountain Dog and now we have Cassie a Great Pyrenees and Maximus a BMD.
Always wanted to get a Donkey. We are down to only one goat now so still might get a Donkey.

My mule was hard on canines, coyotes, and healer dogs wouldn't come close. However, I'm not sure how they do against wolves, having seen the damage they do at times to donkeys.
Disclaimer this particular mule grabbed a goat, and tossed it into the side of the barn.

Sounds like that mule was just an a-hole...

Pretty decent critter actually. They all have moments.
Years ago there was a horse farm I used to hunt small game on.. They kept a donkey in with the horses for protection.. that donkey would ignore just about everybody except this one guy for some unknown reason.. If he stepped over that fence into that field that donkey would chase him up a tree so fast you couldn't believe it.. While he pretty much ignored the rest of us.. hilarious.
