 Donkeys for sale logo

We love our donkeys. All of our donkeys are treated as family. We try to be present at every birth and we raise each baby by hand. We are very selective as to whom we sell our foals. We want each and every foal we place in a new home to go to the RIGHT home.

We prefer not to provide "guard donkeys".  Although donkeys do make very good guardians of livestock, we prefer our donkeys to be a part of a family, and not just placed out in a field to do a job.  Donkeys are very social and intelligent animals, and they enjoy and demand a great deal of attention and social interaction.  If you are looking for a donkey to guard cattle, please consider another breeder. We prefer our donkeys live with other equines, preferably donkeys, but horses are good too.  Donkeys are herd animals.  They need the constant companionship of another similar animal.  Without it they become depressed and lonely. 

Before we place a donkey weanling in a new home, we want to meet you and talk with you. We want to make sure your new donkey will be the perfect addition to your family as well as a special member of the family, not just livestock We place our donkeys in their new homes based on the BEST home for the donkey, not just who has money to buy the donkey.  If you love donkeys as much as we do, please call us and arrange for a visit. 

Some of the items you will need to consider before purchasing a donkey are:

Do you have an equine Vet available nearby who will make house calls if necessary in an emergency? Can you provide a reference if necessary?

Do you have a farrier available who will trim donkey's hooves? Can you provide a reference if necessary?

Are you willing to purchase hay if necessary to feed your donkey if grass is not available?

Are you willing to build a shelter if necessary?

Are you willing to purchase annual vaccinations to keep your donkey healthy?

If you think you may want to add a donkey to your family, please visit our page on Donkey Care.  This page will inform you of some of the details of donkey ownership that you may not think of in advance.  This is a long-term commitment not to be taken lightly. Donkeys can live as long as 50 years!  We want to be sure you enjoy your donkey for life.   

Please see below for donkeys we currently have for sale as well as our terms of sale.

 

 

DONKEYS FOR SALE

(these are baby pictures taken shortly after Bella was born)

 

(this picture taken 7/17/07)

Born: December 22, 2006

Sire: TLL Sir Elmo

Dam: TLL Lady Priscilla 

Light brown and white spotted standard jennet, (immature height)

Blaze, socks on all four legs, cross & stripe, striped hooves, leg garters on rear legs

ADMS Registration E-13419

ACOSA Registration # SA2226

$600

Bella was the last foal for 2006.  She is a very friendly foal with beautiful markings.  She has her mother's color and both her mother and father's temperament.  She is very calm and playful.  She will walk right up to you for scratching.  I named her Bella because when I first saw her I thought she was very beautiful.  She will let you put a halter on her fairly easily now, but she is not yet broke for leading.  She gets scared when the lead rope is attached.  She still needs work in that area.  She is now six months old and is starting weaning.  Bella is now available for sale either alone or with her mother Prissy.  Bella is double-registered with both the ADMS and the ACOSA. Please email me if interested in more information about Bella.



  

Born: March 8, 2007

Sire: TLL Sir Elmo

Dam: TLL Millinnium Millie 

Black jack with light points. (immature height)

cross & stripe, leg garters all four legs

ADMS Registration TBD

$150/$400

Jack is currently still a jack.  He was recently weaned from his mother.  He is also not yet halter broken and he is very wild as he has 2 generations of wild donkeys in his lineage.  It will take me some time to gentle him down enough to wean him, halter break him and get him ready for castration.  He is still enough of a baby that he is not showing any jack tendencies yet so there are no problems in that area.  I am offering him for sale at $150 "as is" to someone who would have the time to work with him to break him to halter and have him castrated as I am currently working full time and going to school full time.  Once I have already done this, he will be available for sale at $400.  If interested in Jack, please email me.

Born: April 9, 2005

Sire: TLL Sir Elmo

Dam: TLL Heather 

Frosted White Gray Roan Gelding

Frosted cross, mottled skin, light gray roaning, striped hooves

Negative Coggins valid through 03/07

ADMS Registration  A-12985

Cash was our first foal of 2005.  He was born around 8:45 in the evening on a Saturday night.  He was a playful, friendly foal with a lot of his daddy's personality.  Cash is probably going to turn out to be a gray roan when he grows up.   He had some problems during his castration procedure because he was immune to the sedation for some reason and would not go under anesthesia.  The procedure was very difficult for him and he was traumatized by it.  Afterward, he would not let me approach him for over a month and the halter he was wearing became imbedded into his face.  It got infected and he had to be treated with antibiotics and all of the hair fell out of his face.  He looked quite ugly for several months.  Now, all of the hair has regrown and he is starting to approach people again for attention.  The pictures above were taken on 12/13/06.   He is starting to regain his trust in me and come up to me in the pasture for affection.  I would consider him a bit of a special needs donkey at this time due to his past experiences.  He was such a sweet baby and such an affectionate baby that I know he will come around in the future with time.  He is already starting to follow me around again and look for scratching on his face again.  If interested, please email me for more information.  Serious inquiries only..

Sire: TLL Sir Elmo 43"

Dam: TLL Heather  44"

White / Gray Roan Gelding (immature height)

Cross & Stripe, black spot on chest, right rear hoof striped

Negative Coggins Test - Valid through 03/07

ADMS Registration  # A-12212

Cody was born in the late afternoon on April 25, 2003.  He is a very shy donkey. He is socializing very well with the other donkeys now that he is weaned.   He is VERY wooly right now with his winter coat, but he should slick out to be a white/gray roan.  Cody used to be very shy around people, and it became even worse after he was castrated, so we are trying to help him overcome his fears with positive reinforcement and TLC.  He seems to be coming out of his shell very nicely.  Cody has a stocky build like his sire, but he has good conformation.  He would make a good companion animal for weaning horses or for another donkey.  He just needs a lot of personal attention to help him get over the fear he developed during the castration procedure.  For more information or to visit Cody in person, please EMAIL us.
