We are very pleased to be able to add Windcrest Gidget to our herd. She belonged to Ed & Linda Trimnell and was one of Linda's two favorite donkeys that she sold the very last when she was dispersing her herd. Gidget is best friends with Junebug who we also have now. Gidget and Junebug have a forever home here at Half Ass Acres. Gidget had the very first Napoleon sired foal, a black no light points jennet named Voilà.

Before becoming a brood jennet, Gidget had a great yearling year as a show donkey. She won the following awards:

6/10/00 ~ Madison County Fair ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 3rd Place

6/25/00 ~ Clermont County Show ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

7/23/00 ~ By-Gone Days Show ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

7/29/00 ~ Fayette County Fair ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

7/30/00 ~ Greene County Fair ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 1st Place

8/19/00 ~ Ohio State Fair ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

9/03/00 ~ Hueston Woods Show ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 1st Place

Gidget is the dam of the following foals:

1) Windcrest Little Dynamite, 6/20/02, black herd sire, Best of Breed at The Red
   Bluff Donkey Show in California in September 2006 as a four year old;

Roxanne has a beautiful tiny head and a nice round rear all in a small package. Very hard to find in a spot. She is one of our few gray and white spotted jennest.

Roxanne was declared safe in foal with her first baby by an exterior ultrasound performed by the University of Tennessee Vet School on November 19th, 2007.

The foal was a beautiful spotted jennet that someone in Heaven apparently had their eye on. Roxanne was allowed to recover and has now been bred to PGF Peppercorn Jack for a May 4th, 2009, foal.

Shawnee is not only beautiful but she has the most comical personality of just about any donkey that we have met. She is so dark brown that she almost looks black and white and she has a perfect spot pattern. She is stocky and correct and has everything we look for in a jennet. These photos were taken in November with her thick winter coat. She will be drop dead gorgeous if we ever take her photos over again when she is shed off.

Shawnee's last foal, Simon Sez, has been weaned and we are allowing her to rest before we breed her back to Badlands for a foal due in 2010.

Shawnee is the dam of the following foals:

We are thrilled to add Junebug to our herd. She is built like our ideal donkey. She was Linda Trimnell's very favorite donkey and the very last one she sold when she dispersed her herd due to health reasons. We are flattered that she let Junebug and her best friend, Gidget, come to live at Half Ass Acres. Junebug has a forever home here at Half Ass Acres.

1) Sunset Acres Astro, 2/15/02, black jack w/NLP;
2) HHAA Black 'n' Blue 8/09/08, black jack.
In March 2003 Junebug had to have a 45 lb foal delivered by C-section that did not live. She was allowed to rest for several years and then we purchased her. Junebug has been bred to Itsy Bitsy Front and Center for an August '08, foal. She was pasture exposed to Beamer from August 7th to August 16th, 2007.

Update 11/19/07: Junie has been checked safe in foal by exterior ultrasound by The University of Tennessee Vet School! Update 4/24/08: We tested Junebug's urine (www.weefoal.com) and she is positively in foal! Junebug started her bag on June 18th, 2008. Update! Junebug delivered a tiny black boy 8/09/08 @ 4:31am! Praise the LORD!!!

Junebug will be allowerd to rest after Bruise is weaned. She will be bred to Napoleon for her next foal due in 2010 or later.

We purchased Piper from the 2007 Heart of American Miniature Donkey Sale and we couldn't be more pleased with her. We had been looking high and low for the perfect gray no light point jennet forever. She was consigned by Tracy Billing at Rock'n NT Ranch in Buffalo, Missouri. She is stocky and tiny and has the most pleasing personality. We have measured her several times since we have owned her and she has measured exactly 29¾" every time. She was already bred to Short Assets Superstar, a 30" dark brown jack, for a September 26th, 2008 foal. Piper is a great granddaughter of the great DMF Mighty Moe.

Piper is the dam of the following foals:

1) Rock'n NT's Jewell, 5/02/04, gray NLP jennet;
2) Rock'n NT's Nickelback, 6/12/05, gray NLP gelding;
3) Rock'n NT's Steeley Dan, 6/02/07, gray NLP gelding;

Thank you to Terri McDonald and Sandy Dorris for helping me take these adorable photos of Piper in November of 2007.
