Livestock For Small Acreage Land Owners
By Rhetta McAlister

dk1.jpg (15275 bytes)Ranching has changed dramatically, throughout the country, in the past ten years. Many factors have influenced this, primarily the development value of land, the flight from urban areas, and the increasing popularity of second, or weekend country homes on small acreage. The national real estate market has been dominated by the strong demand for small acreage properties.

People are searching for animals to enjoy and successfully raise on a few acres. Miniature Donkeys are an excellent choice. They do well on small acreage and they do not require special fencing.

Miniature Donkeys are a pre-Jesus, purebred breed, originating from the Mediterranean area. They are small (30" - 36" at the shoulders), quiet, affectionate, intelligent and delightfully enjoyable. Miniature Donkeys are versatile pets that can be enjoyed in many ways. They are easier to train than ponies, and willingly accept a child on their back. It is also very easy to teach them to pull little buggies and carts and to carry packs for hiking and camping. It is fun to use them in parades, school programs, church nativity scenes, and to put chips and dips on their backpacks for parties. Miniature Donkeys are fantastic pets for the elderly, handicapped and small children. (Some people call them "Grandchildren bait!")

dk2.jpg (25400 bytes)There is a very active market for Miniature Donkeys. Many people like to show animals and there are many Miniature Donkeys shows throughout the U.S. as well as Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. The Ft. Worth Livestock Show, The Dallas State Fair and The Houston Livestock Show have two to three full days of Miniature Donkey classes. Miniature Donkeys are becoming popular with people all over the world. Many of these people are coming to Texas to purchase quality Miniature Donkeys.

Miniature Donkeys require minimal care yearly vaccinations and quarterly wormings. Their hoofs need to be occasionally filed, but no shoes are required. They need a three-sided shed for protection from heat, rain and cold. They do well in every climate and are healthy. hearty, easy keepers

Alfalfa is not recommended, as it will cause these little donkeys to gain to much weight.  Miniature Donkeys are compatible with all breeds of livestock horses, cows, exotics, etc.

From the moment the tiny, fluffy, appealing, long eared foal is born, its mission is to give love and to thrive on affection. They are the most adorable, affectionate creatures in the animal kingdom. Legend says that the dark stripe that forms a cross down the back and across the shoulders, of every Miniature Donkey, is a sign that these little donkeys have been touched by the Hand of God
