We spend
as much time selecting Brood Jennets as we do selecting Jacks.
We look for Jennets that are excellent individuals and possess
characteristics which will cross well with our exceptional Jacks.
Our breeding program is planned years in advance as immature
stock is purchased and some of our own foals are retained for
breeding to our various Jacks. In some cases, we have several
generations of donkeys on our farm.
