6:09Now PlayingAt Packsaddle north of Broken Hill, Joe Baty and his family are chasing feral donkeys on motorbikes.
The often unpredictable ass can be a handful even for Mr Baty, who has grown up handling wild animals.
"Donkeys just keep trying you and trying you," he said.
"They're definitely the hardest thing to muster that I've mustered — I'd be pretty sure about that."
Mr Baty, who lives at Muella Station north-west of Bourke, makes most of his money from goats.
On the side he sells donkeys as guardian animals to protect livestock mainly from wild dogs.
"Donkeys are very vicious animals," he said.
"Even though they look dopey and sleepy, when the time is right they are a powerhouse."
