Donkeys also make great pets! We spend a lot of time interacting with ours and making sure they are kid-safe. Many of our donkeys have inherited the guardian instinct from our herd leader. We lease our white jack for breeding to approved customers. Intact male donkeys are called ‘jacks’. Female donkeys are called ‘jennets’ or ‘jennies’. Castrated male donkeys are called ‘geldings’. Most, but not all donkeys have crosses on their withers (shoulders) and down their backs. Donkeys come in different sizes: miniature, small standard, standard, and mammoth. A miniature donkey may stand no taller than 36” at his withers. If you’re looking for a wonderful farm animal that can do many jobs including being a companion, driving, showing, breeding or even being a great ride for a child, a donkey may be just what you need.
