Currently we have only one donkey, Anne. She is an older rescue who we are incredibly happy to have. Extremely gentle with both goats and children she has been a fantastic addition to the farm. She lives in the red barn with the Nubian goats

 

In general the Miniature Irish Donkey, AKA a Miniature Donkey, is a smaller version of the standard-sized donkey and is commonly kept as a pet. These adorable animals are gaining popularity in  the US due to their many positive traits.

One of the main benefits of the Miniature Irish Donkey is their gentle and affectionate nature. They are known for their friendly disposition and love to be around people, making them perfect for families with children or anyone looking for a calm friendly donkey. Miniatures are also highly intelligent and can be trained easily, making them ideal for therapy work or as a service animal.

Another core benefit of Miniature Irish Donkeys is their easy maintenance. Not only are they are small in size, they are also hardy animals that can tolerate a wide range of climates. Combined, this makes them perfect for those just getting into large animal ownership and care.

Miniature Irish Donkeys excel at controlling weeds and brush. They are natural grazers and can be used to keep grass and weeds under control. Additionally, they are excellent for protecting other livestock, such as sheep or goats, from predators such as coyotes or dogs. Donkeys are intelligent enough to tell between predator's and their herd and will try to protect the latter from the former.
