Today, thanks to the efforts of dedicated breeders like Patrick Archer and Christopher Jones, the Poitou is making a slow but determined comeback. Join us as Patrick shares how their North Texas farm became home to the largest Poitou herd in the U.S., the groundbreaking conservation efforts they are leading, and the unexpected challenges of breeding and raising these incredible animals.

Learn about the history of the Poitou, the science behind their rare genetics, and how their gentle nature continues to captivate those who meet them. Plus, we’ll talk about their work with The Livestock Conservancy, how foaling protocols are critical to the breed’s survival, and what the future holds for Poitou donkeys in America.
