Imagine The perfect pet......... Imagine the Miniature Donkey. From the first moment this appealing, long eared foal hits the ground, it's mission in life is to give you love and thrive on attention. They are without a doubt the most adorable, affectionate, soft and cuddly creatures in the animal kingdom. Totally trustworthy around children, elderly and the handicapped.
Miniature donkeys(when mature), are easily trained to pull carts/pack and be ridden by small children. They companionable with other livestock and become quite attached to their herd mates, as well as their owners. Miniature Donkeys are very popular because so many people realize and value their unique qualities; they are also a good financial investment... an investment you can love!

Lords Hill Farm was established in 1968 her on the banks of the Snohomish River.
We take pride in all of the animals raised here on the farm. We have had many champions in Pygmy goats/Llamas/Horses/and of course Miniature Donkeys.
We spend a lot of time with our donkeys and each and every one of them are special to us. They are part of the family and are treated as such. We think of our donkeys as lap donkeys. Because that is what they are. When I take people out into the field to visit they are all over them. We do not have to give our donkeys treats to come over and visit, it is bred into them. We do rescue donkeys and place them into great homes.
Our herd consists of 50+ jennies picked or bred from Top Quality bloodline from the US & Canada. All of our jennies range from 27" to 32"(we do have a couple of gramma's that are 33"-34" that will never leave)in a large range of colors. We have all shades of: grays-blacks-browns-sorrels-and a few spotted ones). We also have nice woolly ones. We breed for conformation-soundness-temperment- easy of foaling and to top that all off we also want our donkeys to have beautiful heads and ears.
We have four great herd sires:
Little Red Man is a 31" dark sorrel. Multi champion in both halter and performance. He has also won many Hi-Point awards. He is what you breed for. His temperament is the best one that I have ever come across for a breeding jack. He is loved by many. All the judges say that he is the best tempered hack that they have ever seen. We call him our little ever ready bunny. He just goes and goes. Never complains.
MGF Jack of Harts is a 32" super dark sorrel. He was only shown once and took Res. Grand Champion under Little Red Man. He too has a super temperament and throws that to his foals. He has great conformation and heavy boned. He has great width through out.
Lords Hill Houdini's Magik Man is a 32" TRUE Black & White, super woolly jack. I looked long and hard to find this great jack. I needed a nice woolly jack and to top it all off he is a True black & white. He also has a great temperament. He has heavy bone and great width through out. And is a real sweet heart.
Mr. Pips Queak is a 26" Black. He was only 18" @ birth and has remained small. All thought he is tiny he still carries substance and a big adorable personality, he just wants to be in your pocket. His pedigree goes back to the great Dandy herd. Pip has sired some super tiny foals and is what they call a micro mini donkey. I look forward to having Pip for a long time and adding his genetics into the breeding herd.
MGF Absolut he is a 31" black & white. I was sooooo very happy to win the bid on this beautiful wooly jack. Absolut has been the Mc Roberts number one wooly breeding jack for some time. For me to be able to bring him home what a pleasure. But even more to add him to my wooly breeding program wow.
He has perfect conformation and the most beautiful wool that anyone has seen. I look forward to seeing what he can do for my wooly breeding program.
If you are looking for a great sire to breed your jennet to look no further. We do stand our jacks to outside Jennet's. They are both US & Canadian registered.
