QUICK DONKEY FACT .... 99% of all male mini donkeys are gelded, or should be! Only the top 1% are retained for breeding programs by responsible breeders.
We have a rather strong market here in the northeast for these little guys as their popularity continues to increase. So, whether you're a breeder looking for an outlet for your healthy little guys, or a buyer searching for just the perfect pair as pets for your farm family, we find the 'fit' that works for all parties, particularly the donkeys.
Availability, readiness of the buyer's farm, and our assessment of a good 'match' with buyer and donkey occurs before any of our donkeys are 'ready' to go. We reserve the right to refuse to sell these geldings, and buyers must be approved by us. The donkey's needs are the final factor in our decision to sell.
Buyers are expected to sign a purchase agreement so communciations, commitments and understandings promote happy parties, all around. Buyers realize the donkeys are always welcome back on our farm with no questions asked, if life changes for you and you can no longer care properly for your donkey.
We are an intervention sort of little farm, offering an alternative to breeders who would otherwise take these guys to auctions or livestock sales, where the donkey futures are unknown at best.
So, to summarize the benefits ....
The 'up' side for buyers .. the affordable price we can offer these gelded little guys for.
It's a trifecta! [Excuse the pun]
