Mexican Burros to Ohio Home Pets Founded by Two Men
Two area men, Harry Demas and J C Woodings, drove 3 500 miles to Laredo Texas to buy 22 Mexican burros and return to Ohio. They plan to sell burros as pets and may breed them if the venture succeeds. The animals, ages three to seven months, thrive in any climate and eat hay, with a possible future Texas return if demand grows.
