If you see a donkey
you like be sure to send us a deposit to hold it so you won't miss out! I
cannot hold a donkey without a deposit. Sorry but too many broken promises
in the past. Discounts given when purchasing more than one donkey. Donkeys are much happier when paired up. All of our donkeys come with registration certificates, a current negative coggins report, a health certificate if sold
out of state, complete health records, a hard cover book including all records
and 8 x 10 color photographs, small left and right photos for registration transfer
or update if needed, a personalized dvd with all high resolution photos and videos taken of
your donkey, a Half Ass Acres T-shirt, a 2012 Tennessee Donkey ASSociation Calendar, and a brand new halter and lead
rope. We do offer significant discounts on package deals or if you have previously
purchased a donkey from us!! All of our donkeys comply with the new Miniature
Donkey Registry rules by being microchipped!
Click MDR sticker to see Autumn's complete pedigree!
Autumn is a very drafy, well built jennet. She is another daughter of our herd sire, Peppercorn Jack, and Sunset Acres Tilly. She has a sweet disposition, shows lots of bone and is very wide in the chest and rear just like her sire and dam. Autumn's last foal is a dark jennet foaled on 3/24/10, Pocketful of Poseys. Autumn is up to date on all vaccinations including West Nile and Botulism. Autumn has been DNA typed at Texas A&M University. She is also up to date on de-wormings and hoof trims. We are offering her for sale to lighten our work load during foaling season and because we have retained so many of our foals over the past couple of years. We need to keep our numbers down to be able to provide our donkeys with the attention that they so crave. We rarely offer a Peppercorn daughter for sale. Here is your chance to own one and she is guaranteed safe in foal!
Autumn has been bred to Windcrest Firefly for her next foal due on March 16th, 2012. She is guaranteed safe in foal! We will be removing Autumn from our for sale page at the end of January because we will not ship a donkey that is within 30 days of foaling. You should hurry if you want her!
Autumn is now under the barn cam in the second stall and outside paddock (with Junebug) and can be viewed by clicking this link.
Autumn will remain at Half Ass Acres until she has
foaled and until her new foal is old enough to travel.
They will be New York bound!

Cee Cee is about as sweet as they come. She is an easy foaler and a great mom. Cee Cee has been bred to our junior herd sire, Jealous Much, for a foal due October 7th of 2012. She is selling as exposed but not guaranteed as it is to early to test her for pregnancy and the jack we have bred her to is young and this would be his first offspring. We are not sure he is mature enough to be settling jennets in foal at this young age. She has passed several heat cycles without coming back in season though so I am thinking that she is in foal. Cee Cee is up to date on all vaccinations including West Nile, hoof trimming and de-wormings and she has a negative coggins report dated 11/10/11. I am only offering Cee Cee for sale to get our herd down to a more manageable number. If you are just starting out in donkeys Cee Cee would be ideal for you. She is easy to catch and handle. I just don't have anything negative to say about sweet little Cee Cee. We will discount her price if you purchase two or more of our donkeys. We will gladly let you make payments...just ask!

Glorianna has had so many wonderful foals for us and this little girl is another one we simply love. She is a very dark brown little one with no light points and she has the cutest personality. She was making squeaking sounds while she was being born and has never stopped. When we call her or she see us coming she almost sounds like a little baby pig squeaking. Be sure to watch her video on YouTube and you will see and hear what I mean.
Tyger is very petite and small in statue. She has the best of her sire's and dam's attributes and wears her progeny well. We feel she will remain small.
This little gal was named by Joe. He does not get to name many of our foals since I am always picking out names. We decided he would name her and he immediately named her Paper Tyger. Tyger is so full of personality and adds so much excitement to our mom and baby pasture. She is always running around sticking her nose into everything and making the cutest little sounds. She walks and talks, she runs and talks, and she stands while you pet her and talks. What a unique little girl. No she is not a pig, she only makes piglet sounds. LOL
Above photos taken on June 16th, 2011. Dena and I would like to give a big THANKS to Theresa Puckett for helping us during this photo shoot. Her assistance was invaluable!
We really hate to part with Paper Tyger, as well, but we must reduce our numbers before the new donkeys we purchased arrive and my husband has a heart attack! LOL!!
Tyger is up to date on all vaccinations including West Nile, de-worming, and hoof trims. She has a negative coggins report dated 11/10/11. Tyger is going to remain a very small donkey when she matures.
THE LEGEND OF THE DONKEY’S CROSS
Joseph
purchased a small donkey several months before the trip to Bethlehem so Mary could become
accustomed to the animal. A great bond grew between the pair as Mary took care of the donkey
and nightly covered him with her robe. However, at the start of the trip the donkey picked
up a thorn in one of his front hooves which caused him to go lame. Every step was painful,
but he knew how important it was for him to carry Mary carefully. With great patience and
will power the donkey struggled along the trail carefully, being sure not to limp for fear
it would make Mary uncomfortable. So careful he was that neither Mary nor Joseph knew the
donkey was in great pain. Finally the trip ended in Bethlehem. The little donkey was able
to lie down and sleep in the hay, covered with Mary's robe. Later that night an angel came
and lifted the robe from his back and said "Among the beasts thou alone always shall
be blessed, for in another's time of need you bore your cross of pain in silence, and all
men shall know you for the greatness of your heart. Your children and your children's children
forever more shall bear your mark of honor among the beasts." When Mary's robe
was removed from the donkey the next morning, she and Joseph saw something that had never
been seen there before: A cross on his back. And every small donkey has since
borne the cross on his back as a reward for his work and faithfulness.
Hug
Your Donkey
When your
day seems out of balance and so many things go wrong, when people
fight around you and the day drags on so long, when parents act
like children, and in-laws drive you bonkey, go out in your pasture
and wrap your arms around your donkey.
His gentle breath enfolds you and he watches with those eyes. He may
not have a PhD, but he is oh, so wise! His head rests on your shoulder.
You embrace him oh so tight. He puts your world in balance, and makes
it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing. The tension is now eased. The garbage
has been lifted, and you're quiet and at peace. So when you need the
balance from circumstances in your day, the best therapy that you can
seek is out there eating hay!!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We have had major computer problems more than once. We lost most of our emails. If you emailed us and have not heard back please resend your email. We apologize for any inconvienience this may have caused. We will no longer promise a donkey to any one without a deposit. Even without lost emails it is too confusing and too complicated for someone my age to remember who wants which donkey. If you want me to seriously offer you first refusal on any of our donkeys I am going to require a non-refundable $100 deposit that can be applied to any donkey you purchase from us in the future.
