How To Buy a Miniature Donkey From Us
Updated 3-1-10
MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU TO PURCHASE
STEP 1: Check our www.bestfriendsfarm.com/ForPurchase to pick a baby or adult donkey you like.

STEP 2: Call us at 352-333-3819 to arrange a visit and select your perfect donkeys.

STEP 3: Place a deposit to hold your favorite little donkey until she is weaned at four months of age and can
go home with you. Payment options include:
  • The balance can be paid in installments before pick up or
  • The balance can be paid upon pick up
  • Multiple purchase discount
You will receive a contract (that protects both buyer and seller) and the business end is done! All you have
to do is wait.  Please note: After you fall in love with one of our little foals,
waiting is the hardest part!

You have your choice of registered pet or breeding quality, affectionate, well-mannered donkeys for the best
price in the state of Florida and probably anywhere else. Compare prices at
www.gotdonkeys.com! We aren't
big nor do we show, however, many of our donkeys are from show-quality, pedigreed stock. Best Friends
Farm Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys are bred to produce wonderful dispositions and excellent
conformation in pet and breeding-quality miniatures. All our little donkey foals are sweet, human-loving, and
easy to train. They get that way FAST because we can't keep from loving on them, picking them up, hugging
and scratching them, and yes, even kissing them.  My husband won't admit to that, but I've spotted him
puckering up a couple of times.

We specialize in purebred Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys, with pedigrees back to the original imports from
the late 1920's. Isn't it nice to know you are getting the very best and the originals!

We also carry a variety of beautiful and affectionate pet-quality miniature donkeys. Pet-quality means the
conformation is not up to the nearly perfect-rating show/breeding standards of the National Donkey and Mule
Society. Examples might include a slightly angled neck or rib shallowness, which do not affect the behavior or
health of the donkey, but nevertheless make them pet quality rather than show quality.

We have baby miniature donkeys born almost every month of the year, so we will very likely have one just for
you. Foals can be weaned at four months (
click here to see why). We have two jacks with different  
pedigrees and many excellent bloodlines within our family of jennets. Please take a look at our
Breeding Plan
to see how we determine which donkeys to pair up for breeding.

Our Daddy Donkey
Senior Herd Sire


Lawzyday Farm's
Sancho Panza
Sancho is pedigreed to the
original Sicilian Imports. See
information about
his excellent pedigree at
Herd Sires.
Sancho has to be the
most gentle, loyal jack in
the land.  I am not
exaggerating!
He follows me around
like a puppy. He waits
patiently for scratches
and hugs. Sancho really
gets his
feelings hurt
if I shew him away, so I
always ask him politely to
move off when I need
to do some work.


Good manners
tell me to thank him for
letting me get my work
done.  But even if I forget
and leave without saying
goodbye,
he still loves me!



By the way, all his babies
have inherited his loving,
patient disposition! You
can't find a sweeter,
better pedigreed daddy
donkey anywhere!


And you can't say that
about just any
daddy donkey!



This boy is
special!
