Donkeys

We breed English-Irish donkeys and Australian donkeys which make wonderful pets and companion animals. All of our donkey stock are small and almost in the official miniature category. The English-Irish stock are very fluffy and are stockier than their Australian counterparts. The Australian stock tends to have shorter hair and are of a sturdier disposition, which is helpful if you intend to ride your new donkey.

We are currently in the process of registering our herd so all stock will now be sold registered and microchipped, and of course they are all vaccinated, halter and lead trained and socialised around both adults and children.

Donkeys are simply wonderful animals - they are loyal and mine follow me all around the farm, taking every opportunity to spend time with me whenever Iʼm outdoors. They are gentle enough to tolerate my baby son sucking on their ears, they will happily eat weeds and brush which horses and other flocks will take no interest in, and they are very good herd protectors against foxes and wild dogs which makes them great companion animals for sheep and goats and even cattle in calving season.

Did you know that a male donkey is called a "jack" and a female donkey is called a "jenny"?  And that miniature donkeys must be no taller than 36"?

We have breeding jacks for sale or lease and regularly have donkey foals for sale as pets and herd protectors. It's currently our foaling season and we have a number of new additions to add to the website in the coming months... stay tuned or contact us for more information or to place an order.

CURRENTLY FOR SALE:  We currently have the following foals for sale, our stock always sells quickly so please contact us if you're interested to avoid disappointment:

WESTBY: Westby is a lovely grey gelding foal from one of my favorite dams, "Winnie" (pictured behind Westby).  He was born in November last year and he would be ideal for children to ride when he reaches maturity.  He has a beautiful white nose and under belly and a prominent cross.  His mum is from Australian donkey stock and his sire Baz is from Irish lines.  He is very friendly, has been socialised with small children, has been halter and lead trained and is available to be moved to his new home now.  He comes gelded, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is for sale for $1,250.  Click on the photo to view a larger image. Contact us to secure Westby or to arrange a viewing.

FINBAR: Finbar is a gorgeous small gelding foal and will remain a very small donkey at maturity.  He has fine features reminiscent of his dam "Frills" (pictured behind Finbar).   His mum stands 37" and his dad is only slightly larger than that.  He will make a beautiful companion donkey or a terrific kid's pet.  He has a beautiful white nose and a prominent cross and I expect he will remain a little fluffy due to Irish lines of his mother.  His sire "Jack" is my foundation breeding jack and is absolutely fantastic with kids.  Finbar is very friendly, has been socialised with small children, has been halter and lead trained and is available to be moved to his new home now.  He comes gelded, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is for sale for $1,250.
