Miniature Donkey Foals of 2006
Elms Farm Miniature Donkeys

Miniature Donkey Foals - the Ultimate "Warm Fuzzies"
Miniature donkeys are among the most adorable creatures, and miniature donkey foals are the cutest, most adorable of all. While there is not a "miniature donkey for sale" sign on every mini donkey foal, we thought you would enjoy seeing them all.

These miniature donkey foals are the result of thoughtful breeding of our quality, registered miniature donkey jacks and jennets. In order to produce miniature donkeys of the highest quality, each mating is carefully planned to strengthen the characteristics of the parents. If you have specific interest in a particular miniature donkey foal on the way or one on this page, please let us know. We invite you to visit our donkey brood jennet page where we list which jennet is bred to which jack and the approximate due date.

We could hardly touch him for the first week, he was so busy racing around the stall and paddock. This jack leapt joyously at about 1 hour old, and reveled in his freedom to move! Super friendly, and so very straight. He has the cute looks, very nice head, and willing personality that Fiftyfire gives his foals. And as the saying goes, he is "all boy".

This little jack reminds us of his sire everytime we look at him, so we have named him Shining Black Knight. He has the glossy blue black coat, and the white belly that is hard to find with the true black donkeys, but which looks so wonderful.
