Date
of Birth: 04/07/08 What a cutie! This little one was born the day after we got home from the National Show; we slept in a bit later than usual, and when we opened the blinds in the breakfast area, there he stood (all 19" of him); he was fluffed out and ready to play! His mom is a tiny, petite jenny and doesn't make a nice milk bag until after the baby is born, so it's really hard to predict exactly "when" we should be looking for a foal! Mom is a very quiet/shy jenny, but this little one definitely has dad's wonderful, outgoing personality; he is ready to play 24/7!

| Bug is cute, cute, cute and tiny, tiny, tiny! Everyone that visits the farm just falls in love with his face! He has a black nose and a big white star in the middle of his forehead! He is very social and full of life! He earns his keep by giving out donkey hugs; he's too little to have a "real" job! |

Susan first saw minis on TV and immediately fell in love! She has chosen these four mature bred jennys to start her herd, and we know that they will bring her lots of love and happiness for many years to come! Kasey, Asai, Mildred (Millie) and Daisy are each bred to a different jack; two will have foals in August and the other two will deliver in the spring, 2009. I'm betting these babies won't lack for attention! :) It is hard on my heart to let my mature jennys move to a new home; they are like good friends and have blessed us with beautiful babies, but Susan has promised to send updates and pictures of the foals when they are born. |

 Country Place Julie Ann |

Maggie is a "newbie" to miniature donkeys; one of her good friends was moving and couldn't take her little 30" herdsire to the new place, so Maggie bought him and has now found the perfect three little jennys for him to romance. Lexie and Joleen will have to get a bit older before they are ready to breed, but Julie Ann is three years old and ready to flirt! |

Phebe and Marie Ann are two of the sweetest little brood jennys on the place, but although they were bred in Texas, their next foals will be born in France! Phebe is bred to My World Red Alert and is due to foal late October, and Marie Ann will have her baby next spring; she is bred to little 28" spotted Ziggy! It was so hard to part with these two; they've both been with us for several years, but I know that Carole will take good care of them, and she's promised to send pictures! Update: Phebe had a tiny little jack foal! Carole says he is "perfect!" She named him Tiamo which means 'I love you" in Italian! Here's a few pictures of the little guy that she sent for us to share!
Carole has some
great pictures on her website (www.anes-miniatures.com) of her donkeys
leaving Texas on their way to their new home in France. |

|
Many thanks to
Carole was looking for a
couple of smaller, bred gray jennys, and I sent her pictures of three that
we could offer her. She selected Phebe and Marie Ann because the third
little jenny has a black nose, and Carole said that she preferred her
donkeys not have a black nose.
You can visit Carole and her donkeys (including the little one with the black nose that already has won Carole's heart) at www.anes-miniatures.com. |

new job! |
Annabelle is bred to Smoke, 30" dark brown/gray-dun, for an April, 2008 foal, and Muriel has promised to send lots of pictures of the new foal. |

Here's "granny" Priscilla; she is the most delightful donkey ever; she never has a bad day! She is in excellent health, foals easily and loves to be a mom! Her foals are always laid-back and very playful! She is bred to Ziggy, our 28" spot, for a spring 2008 foal.
Priscilla (Grannie, as we tenderly call her) will be going to live at Molasses Meadows with Stella and Pearl and their BIG sister, Coalie! Thanks to Glen and Sara Smith for falling in love with Priscilla! Actually, Priscilla picked them; she follows them all over (and I mean all over) our place whenever they come to visit! |

We had so much fun the day
John Kelley came all the way from Paris (Texas, that is) to meet our
donkeys! We visited in every pasture, and touched every donkey;
there is no
better way to spend time than out in the donkey pens!
John is selling part of his business (Kelley's Honey Farms in Chicota, Texas) and will be spending most of his time out in the pasture with his donkeys! He told us that he has worked 24/7 for as long as he can remember, and now he is ready to play! John has a huge heart for miniature donkeys, and we wish him much success and enjoyment in the years ahead! Thanks again to John Kelley and his family By the way, the next time you buy honey, look for Kelley's Honey; John gave us a sample, and it is delicious. You just can't beat biscuits and honey for breakfast! Kelley's Honey was #1 at the State Fair of Texas! |

- SOLD - When Steve asked Beth what she wanted for her birthday, she said something that started with "R" so he guessed a radio for her new truck .................... wrong! It was Red Rover, and we are excited that he will be staying in Texas; in fact, he will be making his home with Beth and Steve in New Caney along with Cotton, Jake and Magellan. Beth showed Red Rover at halter twice for us this year and placed in the ribbons both times; she's planning to show him at halter again next year and then when he is almost three, she is going to teach him to drive. His disposition is perfect for a driving donkey, and his beautiful sorrel color is a plus! Look for Beth and Red Rover in the winner's circle! |

Happy Birthday, Beth! |

Anna P. Clarke of Deer Haven Ranch has formed a partnership with Billie Wollam to raise and breed quality miniature donkeys. Billie is an experienced horse woman, and presently owns one of Anna’s miniature donkeys, two beautiful paint horses, and two sorrel mules which she keeps on her 40 acre ranch in the same area. Like the rest of us involved with miniature donkeys she has been bewitched by them and is now anxious to get started in this new venture.
Congratulations and good
luck with the new partnership! |

Sold Many thanks to Cotten's Half Ass Ranch in Longview, Texas for choosing Pocket Change as their future spotted herdsire! Mic and Rusty are putting together a nice herd of donkeys, and we are thrilled that they added three of our little spotted donkeys to their collection! We think Pocket will produce some fantastic babies when he is mature, but just think of the fun they are going to have watching him grow up! |

Sold This gorgeous little lady has been sold and guess where she is going to make her new home when she is old enough to wean ..............right down the road a piece in Longview, Texas. Justine used her girly charm on Mic and Rusty, and she will be joining Pocket, Haley, Fran and Sara at Cotten's Half Ass Ranch! Best of luck with your spotted breeding program and thanks so much for your friendship and your business! |

Sold This little jenny and her best friend, Red Feather, are the first miniature donkeys for this family, and we know they are already wrapped around Jim's heartstrings because they have been in Scottsdale for two weeks, and I haven't heard much from Jim! When I email and ask him if everything is alright, he sends back a note that says all is great, and he is busy sitting out in the pasture with the girls and reading his new donkey books! |

We took Pattie with us to
the SDMS Grand Finale Show in Corsicana for Laura to see, and I wondered
how I would recognize her as she and I had never met in person. We
hadn't been there long before I heard a loud scream; when I turned around
there was no mistaking who had made that noise! It was Laura running
as fast as she could to our stall with tears running down her cheeks and
squealing "is that my donkey, is that my little red girl?" It was
definitely love at first sight! |

Sold Last year, Karon bought donkeys for each of her daughters, but this year she's buying for herself! She fell in love with Mick when he was just a baby and now has selected him to stand herdsire for a small group of jennys that she is busy collecting! Look out! Karon has donkey fever, and her husband, Larren, is nervous! |

Sold To help Santa with his deliveries last year, Nicholas and Celestial slipped down to Texas, purchased these four little girls and hurried back to Ohio in time for Christmas with their very surprised children! What a great family, and what lucky little donkeys! |

Recently, a helicopter landed in our pasture and out hopped Jack and Diane; they came to meet our donkeys. After rubbing on donkeys, giving donkey hugs and yes, a few  butt
scratches ― they had a good case of "donkey fever!"They selected two older, bred jennys to teach them the "ropes" of donkey ownership and we are delighted that Rachel and Ginger will be staying together. We know they are good donkey teachers; they taught us! They also picked out two young jennys, and we will breed them in the fall for their first foals. And last, but certainly not least, they chose Giz, Mr. Personality Plus! We feel good that these little donkeys have moved to a good home with lots of love! |

Sold Jim and Connie selected
Amanda, Cassie and Sugar to add to their herd of miniature donkeys in Scenery
Hill, Pennsylvania. This family will treasure the very gentle, sweet
personality of these three little blue-eyed ivory jennets, and we know their children will provide plenty of love and daily donkey hugs!

Sold What a
lucky little guy! Love is Jub likes to have his best buddy, Ronnie (Jeanie's husband), brush him and make him a handsome dude; just wait until next year when those jennys are dating age! |
Jeanie says that Jubilee is better than any alarm system they have ever had. When he hears Ronnie's truck coming around the corner, he starts braying and doesn't stop until he gets a few donkey hugs and butt scratches! Then and only then, Ronnie can go in the house! |

Sherry and her sister have plans to open a bed & breakfast and included in their plans is an area where their guests can interact with their animal family! Guess what ......... Lani Girl and Roxanna have been "hired" to be their official PR reps! Lani has the most wonderful disposition and loves to be as close to your side as possible. She has been bred to our little spotted jack, Major Moneymaker, for an early fall 2004 foal; this will be her first baby, and what a delightful addition to their plans! Don't you know their guests will be delighted when they are greeted by these two fun-loving little jennys! |

Sundi will be moving to Nina's place with one of her best friends, Rosanna. Nina has horses, but Rosanna and Sundi are her first miniature donkeys. We had such a good time watching them steal her heart! What delightful little yearling girls, and they should be great "teachers" for first-time donkey collector, Nina. When they are older and ready to breed, they will be wonderful brood jennys and produce sweet, sweet little fuzzy babies ! |

Sold Ron will be retiring soon, and the Johnson family will be moving to "The Spread" in Oakwood, Texas. When they get their fencing and barn building complete, Ron is going to teach Buddy and Moses to pull a cart full of granddaughters! We have always thought they would be perfect for cart pulling and are somewhat jealous that we haven't found time to train them ourselves. The good thing is they won't be moving far; we are almost neighbors, and we will still get to visit and watch their training lessons! |
