Something for the Buyer to Think About Our customers probably spent a little more buying from us than on "c's list" or similar sites. In addition to a very fair price, the customers listed below got to see the foal's mama and daddy, the interaction of the foal with her mother, the entire herd and how they interact with our goats, horses, chickens, dogs, and children. Customers also received service for life and a donkey education before they bought. Our reputation means everything to us. Now that is something to think about. Congratulations to the Wilsons, proud new owners of Miranda and Lucy, the perfect chocolate pair! Congratulations to Larry and Pam, proud new owners of the perfect pair, Burrell, chocolate jack and White Out, white spotted jack! Congratulations to Len and Karen, proud owners of Rocket Man, beautiful tiny chocolate jack and Double Cross, gorgeous spotted jack. Their new names are Frank and Beans and we hear these boys are the hit of the neighborhood! Congratulations to the Remmers on their purchase of Half Ass Acres', 22" Stocky Jack foal, Greystone to pair with another mini donk at their farm. Congratulations to The Carrol Family, Sparkle from the spotted Bambi line. Sparkle is learning to drive! Congratulations to The Adler Family, proud new owners of MegaByte, from the Macaroni line.

Due to the loneliness factor, we ask that you place two donkeys together. We want you and your donkeys to be happy! |

Note to Customers: Please do not buy a donkey if he will be alone. Donkeys are herd animals and need another donkey to be playful and happy. Although miniature donkeys get along with goats, alpacas, sheep, and horses, they are not "donkey happy" without a donkey friend. We have seen the difference right here on our farm. Thank you. |
