Ed and I began raising miniature donkeys in 1999.  We wanted to raise animals for extra income.  As a Chiropractor that has been in practice for 20 years, I also knew that I needed to start planning for retirement. I did not want to raise anything that would be eaten, so we decided on Miniature Donkeys.

We knew it costs just as much to feed and raise a cheap miniature donkey as a Champion donkey, but the Champion one would sell for much more. We did extensive research into bloodlines and conformation, and decided to concentrate on black, sorrel and dark brown donkeys of excellent conformation and pedigrees. Our goal is to maintain three to four Champion herdsires, with a stable of 25 jennets of excellent breeding. It takes many years to acquire excellent donkeys, because no one wants to sell their best. We logically approach each breeding and try to match the best jack with an exceptional jennet to better the breed. Quality really does breed Quality. The proof of this is that in 5 years we have a National Champion, several State Champions and a World Champion Donkey.

All of our foals are handled daily, and are imprint trained at birth. They are sold with a new lead and halter, are trained to lead and stand for their hoof trimming and are regularly vaccinated. We transfer the NMDA papers into the new owner's name and will help the new owners after the sale with any questions or advice. We are always trying to better the herd, so if you see a donkey that you like that may not be listed on the "For Sale" page, please do not hesitate to contact us. We might need some room in the barn to keep one of our foals instead! We are only 12 miles from downtown Dallas, so stop by and visit.
