It is starting to look a lot like
Christmas...
Welcome to the Burns Farm!
We are located about 30 miles south of San Antonio, TX on the Chacon Creek. We have been raising miniature and standard sized donkeys for more than ten years. Our love for donkeys started when we purchased Bell, our first guard donkey. We were experiencing problems with Coyotes and stray dogs killing our sheep and goats. After hearing that donkeys, who live with a herd, will protect them, Bell came to live with us.
Soon, we no longer had problems losing livestock, and we discovered that we loved the donkeys more than anything else. Currently, we have quite a collection of donkeys. Although we started with standard sized donkeys, now our love for miniature donkeys has become a family business. David, our son, has started his own collection of miniature donkeys, which live on Union Hill Road in Mineral Wells, Texas. Brenda, our daughter, works with this Web site and helps take care of the animals. Zoe and Mia, our granddaughters who live on the farm, make sure that each donkey gets a lot of tender love and care.
In the Spring, we had several new members added to our family and some of these guys are now looking for a new home.
Fall brought the Three Amigos to the Farm. We had three little miniature jacks born within a two weeks and they all have dark color and dynamic personalities. The boys are Banana Split, Double Trouble, and Cato.
We have enjoyed cart training, but have not being doing much of that lately. April was our first candidate because of her sweet demeanor and easy going spirit. Carts and halters are available for purchase with some donkeys.
Stop by to visit us sometime. We love to show off all of our donkeys.
There is always a donkey ready to greet you on the Burns Farm.
