Raising quality registered miniature donkeys is a passion for us... they are our 'kids'. Anyone who's been around miniature donkeys, knows how sweet and loveable they are. We strive for good conformation, gentle dispositions, extended pedigrees, as well as small sizes and a variety of colors. All our herd sires are 30" or under. We are located just 12 miles from Muscatine, IA. Visitors and inquiries are always welcome... We look forward to meeting others who share our love of donkeys... And hope you consider us when buying your 'first' or 'next' donkey.    (3/12)

Herd Sires:
Sunny G's Starbuck, 25 1/2" - Gray-Dun (Yes, he truly is that small).
Stock Market's Pocket Change, 28 3/4"- Black

Currently for sale:
We have a good number of donkeys available for sale. Due to health issues (our health, not the donkeys) we have decided to cut back on our herd... therefore we are offering a good selection of jennies, jacks and geldings at reasonable prices. If you do not see what you're looking for, just ask, since we often have others available that are not listed. Quantity discounts given... the more you buy, the better the savings!
