There is nothing cuter than a baby miniature donkey. At 16 to 20 # at birth, they are really small. I picked this little gal up and carried her from the pasture up to the donkey shed. Of course momma was right behind me. They are very social, love attention, follow you around like puppies, and love little kids. Their tough, require little maintenance, and if it wasn't for the road out front, could run loose. We normally tether the mommas and let the little guys run loose until they start roaming too far from mom. This little gal makes the count seven.
Let's see.....that's 7 miniatures, one more due in two wks or less, six rescued standards, plus four more this coming weekend, and two mules to ride. Six dogs, four cats, and I"ve lost count of the chickens. Do we qualify as a zoo or what.
I added a pic of my wife Judy, holding the new babe.
