3C Hobby Farm is home to a very small herd of ADMS
registered minis. We are a family with 3 boys aged 2 - 6 years who help with
all the farm duties, so our donkeys are spoiled daily. While it is
difficult to part with one of our babies, we know we can't keep them all.
If you are looking for a very friendly, very gentle addition to your
barnyard, we probably have your donkey. (10/12)
Herdsire:
Our herd sire is a handsome little fella named Prime Edition.
He is a beautiful spotted jack sired by the infamous DMF Primo of KZ's
Ass-Pirations Acres. We are looking forward to seeing his first babies
the Spring of 2011.
Currently for sale:
Currently, we do not have any donkeys for sale. Given all the recent
'activity', it would be safe to say we will be expecting a few foals in the
Spring of 2011.
