| Our goal is to lovingly raise and share quality registered Miniature Donkeys. We breed for conformation and lineage and train our foals from birth. Their sweet disposition is a given. |
| Here at Best Friends Farm we believe that when you call or visit us, we have a responsibility to help educate you about miniature donkey care, health, and uses (sale or no sale). Besides, we just love to talk donkeys. We have miniature donkeys for sale, but first, we care enough to share enough information, including our personal donkey experiences, so you will be comfortable and happy with your new family member. You and your new donkeys will be happy with each other for a life-long friendship! Please look over these important care guidelines, no matter where you decide to purchase. |

| A "Little" About KneeHi Born October 2, 2007 - The official World's smallest donkey, 25.25 inches. Foals expected July 2012. Birth Ht: 16.5" Height @ 12 months 23.5", 16 mo 23.75", 18 mo 24", 21 mo 24.25", Birthday Oct 2, 2009/24 mo 24.25", 32 mo 24.5", 3 years 25.2", 4 yrs, 25.25" Dam: Itsy Bitsy Annie 27.5", Sire Golden Point's GP Billy Bob 29", Grand Sire: GP Oscar, 26.75" We are so proud to be the home of the smallest registered miniature donkey jack yearling in the world and the USA! We were happy when research proved KneeHi to be the smallest registered donkey in Florida. After further research, we were overjoyed when he was verified to be the smallest in the entire United States! When the records and research verified him to be the smallest registered miniature donkey in the world, we were speechless (and still are)! Time will tell if he is to remain the smallest registered jack. Bright eyed, bushy tailed and beautifully conformed, Little KneeHi is only 25 1/4" tall. Now full grown, he is smaller than our 2-month old foals. It's true folks. Seeing is believing. Visit us or look for our ads in the Jan. 2009 issue of Miniature Donkey Talk Magazine, page 31 and KneeHi's Story, page 21, "Tiny, Tiny, Tiny." |

| A Family Effort - Have We Gone Country or Crazy? |
Dear Visitors,
We have gone country just outside cosmopolitan Gainesville, FL! Our relatives and friends say we've gone crazy. After living in a crowded subdivision
in town, we now live on a self-made farm with miniature donkeys, horses, goats, and chickens. On our farm, there are occasional visits from
raccoons, deer, snakes, foxes, opossums, hawks, and other critters. We have our same city jobs (retirement is a bit further away now) plus all the
farm work, which is far more fun than work. Well, most of the time. Whew, there is always a lot to do!
In town, it took us 30 minutes to get a gallon of milk from our nearby grocery. Getting milk takes about the same amount of time now but it's much
fresher directly from our dairy goats! We also enjoy our hormone-free eggs straight from our son's very happy 4H prize-winning chickens. In March
2008, his chicken won Best Male Exhibition Bird, in 2007 Best Male Production Bird in all of Alachua County, Florida. That's in addition to winning in
2005 and 2006. Sorry, but a mother has to brag now and then. Ryan has moved on to marching band (Go SF Raider Regiment!) but still loves poultry
and is happy to help other young 4-H members get a good start.
Oh yes, the stars. They are far more beautiful viewed without the hindrance of city lights and much more enjoyable in the quiet of a country evening.
Of course, our city-living friends and relatives think we have gone insane (and tell us so) when we talk about miniature donkey pedigree! We tell them
we have not gone insane, but rather we've gone country. If you are reading this in your search for farm animals, you understand about farm life and all
it has to offer! Sometimes, we ask ourselves if it is worth it and the answer is always, "Yes it is and we wouldn't trade country living for any other kind."
After many miraculous miniature donkey births, we are here to stay! We thank God every day for watching over us and providing our many blessings.
There's another questions we ask, "What if we woke today with only the things we thanked God for yesterday?"
Visit our farm, where we love and care for miniature donkeys daily. Thanks for visiting our site and may God bless you and yours!
