The miniature donkeys compite on the level of cuteness and sweetness with the calves and once in a while act as guardians of the flock for coyotes and predators.

The chickens provide us with very yummy, healthy and colorful eggs. The chickens also spread the manure from the cows, that is great for the soil giving it back some of the nutrients the soil needs as well as saving money and time from us and the field never gets packed with poop pales from the cows. The ducks and geeses are very fun to watch, make a lot of noise so you are never alone and they will be the main providers of organic fertilizer in our pond to then perform field irrigation from the ponds getting all those nutrients to the soil and future garden.

We will soon add miniature pigs; they will perform key steps of the regenerative process as well.

Our Homestead Journey...

… it started with miniature cows but expanded quickly to chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs and mini donkeys

Every animal in the farm has a purpouse in the regenerative cycle. As we gain more experience and arrive to better results on quality and output we will be offering some of our produce for sale as well as sharing our learnings and recommendations.

Mini Donkeys

Our mini donkeys are used to be around dogs, kids and visitors. They are very gentle with the calves. We raise all our animals free range together. Donkeys, cows, horse they are used to eat together from the hay bale. They interact with each other. They respect eath other.

The mini donkeys are very easy to handle and train. They will let you pick their feet and trim their hoofs without needing halter. They are all halter broken and learning to lead as well.

We will be adding soon some new mini jennies in different colors and continue breeding for docility on top of color/marks.

We find a lot of benefits in registering the animals that are born on the farm. It provides transparency to our clients. It accounts for traceability on genetics, traits and performance. When you buy an animal from us, the registration is transferred to you as a gift from us, so you can have all their records as well as continue the practice in case you decide to breed as well. We register with IMCBR, AHCA, HHCA, MMDA as appropriate.

All our animals are on pasture 24×7, with access to shelter, shade and very refreshing sprinklers for the summer days. During dry seasons we supplement with excellent local quality hay and the minimum required high quality cattle feed to keep them on a good nutritional score. And they loooove the feed, so it is a great treat for them as well as a strategy for easy cattle management.
