Breeding Season

We'll the ranch is in breeding season. The three year olds Sydney and Sierra are expected to produce offspring next year. They are being bred to the shortest mini-donkey, Hershey! Hershey is about five years old and acquired specifically because of his short height and dark brown color. However, Sydney is darker brown than Hershey. It is very difficult to tell their color this time of year because donkeys roll in the dirt to keep the bugs from bothering them. Pearl and Miss. Lily are due in December '08 and May '09 Respectively. Once the little ones come just expect your heart to melt once you see their pictures. And if you ever have the pleasure of picking up and holding one, consider yourself a lucky person!
