Historic Lebanon, Ohio – Fairgrounds
January
2012
Dear
Donkey Enthusiast,
We are pleased to announce that we are organizing the 10th annual Great American Miniature Donkey Sale, a select sale featuring quality, registered miniature donkeys. The Sale will take place Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 12:30 PM, at the fairgrounds in historic Lebanon, Ohio.
We are targeting to offer approximately 50 miniature donkey jennets at this sale. It is anticipated there will be a mix of young jennets, bred jennets, and jennets with foals at the side. We may accept a well trained driving gelding or a team with a complete driving package. No consignor jacks will be accepted. Our intent is to sponsor an auction sale featuring diverse bloodlines, great conformation, sought after colors, and a variety of sizes and ages to attract breeders, show people, and donkey & equine lovers everywhere.
We are seeking consignors interested in offering high quality miniature donkeys for breeding and show stock. No farm can offer the diversity that a number of breeders together can offer. Whether your farm is well-known or not, whether you have a few or many donkeys, please consider consigning to this event. We will select the best from those submitted to create an exciting sale. We are enthusiastic that this sale will showcase the wonderful quality that breeders are striving for in Miniature Donkeys.
Lebanon’s central location is within a day’s drive of 70% of the US Population. There are numerous farms, large and small in this region, where people can happily make miniature donkeys part of their lives. For those who want to be active with their donkeys, there is a busy show circuit, with show opportunities available from May through September. Many communities sponsor carriage parades and welcome miniatures.
Last year, the Sale drew consignors from across North America. With well connected air and land routes, we expect to draw consignors & buyers from across our Continent and Europe once again. The exposure you receive by participating in this sale is valuable advertising for your farm or ranch, and goes well beyond just the sale days.
We hope you will consider
supporting The Great American Donkey Sale by consigning some of your
best donkeys. Consignment details are attached (deadline
Friday, March 9, 2012). This a great opportunity to advertise your farm
/ ranch and showcase your breeding program to hundreds of miniature donkey
owners, breeders, and enthusiasts throughout North America. Select
sales stimulate the donkey industry, provide an opportunity to learn
from others and share experiences, and provide a benchmark for prices
you will receive on your farm / ranch in the future.
Thank You for Your Support,
Martha & Dowell Howard, ELMS FARM MINIATURE DONKEYS
PS – Even if you don’t consign, mark your calendar and be sure to come. It’s going to be one great extravaganza of top quality miniature donkeys (and a lot of fun!).
