| A "Little" About KneeHi Born October 2, 2007 - KneeHi is two years old! The much anticipated measurement has been done: KneeHi's official two-year old height is 24 1/4 inches. WOW! His next measurement is scheduled for March 2, 2010 Birth Ht: 16.5" Height @ 12 months 23.5", 16 mo 23.75", 18 mo 24", 21 mo 24.25", Birthday Oct 2, 2009, 24 mo 24.25" Dam: Itsy Bitsy Annie 27.5", Sire GP Billy Bob 29", Grand Sire: GP Oscar, 26.5" We are so proud to be the home of the smallest registered miniature donkey jack yearling in the USA! We were happy when research proved KneeHi to be the smallest registered donkey in Florida. After further research, we were overjoyed when he was verified to be the smallest in the entire United States! When the records and research verified him to be the smallest registered miniature donkey in the world, we were speechless (and still are)! Time will tell if he is to remain the world's smallest jack. Amazing, bright eyed, bushy tailed and beautifully conformed, Little KneeHi is only 24 1/4" tall. At two years old, he is smaller than our 4-month old foals. It's true folks. Seeing is believing. Look for our ads in the Jan. 2009 issue of Miniature Donkey Talk Magazine, page 31 and KneeHi's Story, page 21. |
| Wow! It doesn't get any better than this! |
| Education is Important! |

| A Family Effort - Have We Gone Country or Crazy? |
Dear Visitors,
We have gone country here outside cosmopolitan Gainesville! Our relatives and friends say we've gone crazy. After living in a crowded subdivision in
town, we now live on a self-made farm with miniature donkeys, horses, goats, and chickens. On our farm, there are occasional visits from raccoons,
deer, snakes, foxes, opossums, hawks, and other critters. We have our same city jobs (retirement is a bit further away now) plus all the farm work,
which is far more fun than work. Well, most of the time. Whew, there is always a lot to do!
In town, it took us 30 minutes to get a gallon of milk from our nearby grocery. Getting milk takes about the same amount of time now but it's much
fresher directly from our dairy goats! We don't actually drink our goats' milk but we do enjoy our hormone-free eggs straight from our son's very happy
4H prize-winning chickens. In March 2008, his chicken won Best Male Exhibition Bird, in 2007 Best Male Production Bird in all of Alachua County,
Florida. That's in addition to winning in 2005 and 2006. Sorry, but a mother has to brag now and then. Ryan has since moved on to marching band but
still loves poultry and is happy to help other young 4-H members get a good start.
Oh yes, the stars. They are far more beautiful viewed without the hindrance of city lights and much more enjoyable in the quiet of a country evening.
Of course, our city-living friends and relatives think we have gone insane (and tell us so) when we talk about miniature donkey pedigree! We tell them
we have not gone insane, but rather we've gone country. If you are reading this in your search for farm animals, you understand about farm life and all
it has to offer! Sometimes, we ask ourselves if it is worth it and the answer is always, "Yes it is and we wouldn't trade country living for any other kind."
After many miraculous miniature donkey births, we are here to stay! We thank God daily for watching over us and providing our many blessings.
Thanks for visiting our site and may God bless you and yours!
