Duke and Hazzard grazing 2026-08-02 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Pam Capozziello. Pam writes, "Duke and Hazzard grazing in our back yard... was all fine until they got into some weeds not good for donkeys to eat. Now they stay in their own pasture safe from weeds of all kinds.

I rounded a bend in a grassy trail last week to find these three deer grazing. Momma stomped her foot to let me know she was in charge, and I left them to feed after taking a quick photo.
