We have been
raising Miniature Donkeys since 1992.
Drafty, correct
conformation and excellent health are our primary
objectives. We enjoy seeing what color the foals will be,
but do not breed specifically for certain colors.
We match the jack
and jennet as to how they will complement each other based
on pedigree and conformation. Jennets are not bred until
after they are three years of age. They are never bred back
the year they foal.
Foals are weaned
no sooner than 8 months of age. We feel they need to stay
with the herd for the learning experience. Most jack foals
will be available as geldings. Jack foals showing promise of
being herdsire material and all jennet foals are kept a
minimum of one year, we just don't think it is possible to
assess a very young foal's potential accurately until they
reach 1 year of age. They can change so much in the first
year of life. We want you to be pleased with any donkey
purchased from us and feel the extra time to evaluate them
is well worth it.
We do not sell
donkeys as guardians and will not sell a single foal to a
home with no other donkeys close to the same age, they may
bond to other animals if forced, but they are happiest with
another donkey. We will post photos of foals shortly after
birth and if one catches your eye, we will be happy to
provide photos and updates on a regular basis until they are
ready for a new home.
In
addition to pasture and locally grown hay, our donkeys are
fed Semican oats with Direct Action supplements and oil.
During the summer, we add vinegar. Free choice kelp,
Redmond salt and white salt, both loose and in blocks are
always available. Jennets with foals also get Blue Seal Mare
and Foal.
We have a buy
back guarantee, any donkey born here has a home here for
life. We offer donkeys with excellent conformation and
proven pedigrees at affordable prices, so that everyone is
able to have quality in their herd.
