Mink was our last jennet
to have a foal for the 2007 breeding season. We had her up for quite a while since she was
moving right along in the process of getting ready to have her foal. She just kept getting
bigger and bigger until we thought for sure she would give birth way before Sunflower. But,
donkeys have a mind of their own, and Mink certainly held on to this guy until the last
minute.
Late in the afternoon, on November 29th, Mink decided 'show time' was
here. She had a textbook delivery and presented us with this handsome dark brown jack. He
has a faint star on his forehead that may stay but will most likely fade out as he matures.
We named him Brownie, as he was earning those “brownie points” as soon as he was
born. He has the prettiest brown coat, great big happy eyes, and that adorable personality
that only a new baby jack can have right after he is born. Mink is so proud of him but he
is equally as proud of himself. If you have watched him on our barn cams, I’m sure you’ve
seen him strutting around, running around, playing chase in and out of the stalls, and keeping
Mink trotting behind him trying to keep up with her new bundle of joy. We have certainly
enjoyed watching his barn/stall antics as he constantly amuses us with his un-ending energy.
We are never without Brownie when we are out in the stalls or the paddocks. He is buzzing
around us trying to earn even more “brownie points” by showing off. He runs circles around
the muck bucket while we are trying to clean, and entertains all the other little ones every
chance he gets.
He has already provided us with so many laughs as he runs and plays,
basically showing off his tireless energy. We love to have little ones like this who are
so full of themselves and playful and help to make our chores go quickly.
We are
offering him for sale so please come to visit with Brownie. He is guaranteed to show you
a good time! He, too, can be your buddy that provides you with many hours of laughter and
fun.
EARN YOUR OWN BROWNIE POINTS by doing your Christmas Shopping with us this
year. You will certainly beat the Christmas rush, busy shopping centers, packed parking
lots, and GIFT WRAPPING!!! We’ll be more than happy to hold your “special gift” for you
until Christmas. Of course, Brownie can’t leave until he is weaned from Mink, but you are
more than welcome to visit with him until the time he is ready to come live with you.
Call to set an appointment to come see Brownie and some of our other donkeys we are
offering for sale. *Discounts are given when you purchase more than one donkey. AND remember,
”one donkey is a lonely donkey." Donkeys are herd animals and very social. They are
more like dogs and love being with their human friends too.
