Updates from the Farmher: 8/9/2026
As I wrap up working for myself on the farm this summer I feel entirely fortunate and rested.
My check list has been almost completed. I have a week left before school starts and only a few things to work on. Of course work is never done on a farm, but a sense of accomplishment is pretty good. I will take it.
This fall I will be working on a few goals:
The main farm house needs electrical upgrades. Then the plumbing needs to be upgraded. This has been in the works for awhile. The main farm house is circa 1780 and is a witness house to the American Revolution and the Civil War. The log cabin structure is still holding strong but it'a interior electric & plumbing needs some love.
Fencing repairs and upgrades will start once it cools off. I am good at working on fencing but no good being a puddle. Menopause stinks.
The jack pens may be getting an upgrade soon. That is also something I am planning on.
I will be heading to Ohio in October to the Buckeye Sale to get tack and to transport donkeys. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones!
Thanksgiving I will be spending at home this year. Cooking on the new Blackstone Grille & watching everyone's dogos. Stop by to visit!
The donkeys and I would like to wish everyone a Happy 250th USA/America Birthday.
We are not a perfect nation but I believe in my heart that the good will always prevail.
I love living in the great state of Pennsylvania. Maryland and West Virginia have my heart too! Women in farming are a BIG part of the future of this country. I have been mentored by women all over this country and am proud to be in good company.
Interesting facts: Over half of all US farms 58% are entirely run by women. 1.2 million female farmers. I am proud to be one! Thank you for supporting my farm!
Much Love. Farmher Emily

Registrations: ADMS / Pedigree is available upon request.
Sire: Hickory Hill Holy Smoke, 30" Black nlp with star
Dam: Copper Star Homer's Penelope, 33" Fully Frosted White
Spartan has always been a gift. He is a wonderful jack but I am not using him as much as I would like. He has many daughters in my herd and the line is solid. He makes beautiful foals. They always sell well. No issues with teeth, legs or hooves. He is just solid.
He is a good breeder. Getting the job done he marks his Jennets on the shoulder with is Lovee bites but no more. He has gone to NY, PA and Maryland to breed other Jennets and everyone has caught. No other farm that he visited has given him nothing but rave reviews on his behavior.
He even lets my dog into his pen with an attitude of "oh whatever!"...
I am remiss to say I might be making a mistake. But, he is getting older and deserves more plush accommodations that I can give him. So here we go. Just floating the idea. If you are interested you are more than welcome to inquire. I have one request. He must have his own designated area/stall for the winters. Furthermore, he likes women. Not crazy about men and being handled by them at all. So if you are a female donkey breeder looking for a cool jack that is versatile and easy to handle give him a look. He leads, trailers super well and is just that guy.

Dam: Copper Star Maureen O'Hara, Dark Red (GP Peanut Woolly Line)
Verity is a wonderful jennet. Sweet and friendly. She is just a love bug.
I kept her back for a year because she was so tiny & stocky.
Her hair came in very thick and long as she has the genetics from the GP Peanut line.
As you are reading this imagine a donkey the size of a Labrador retriever. That is how tiny Verity is. Could you be Verity's person to cherish her and love her?
I will be taking more photos of her this week. Here are some fun photos of her growing up!
Name: Copper Star Farm Artistic Savant
Color: Dark Spotted with large mutation spots / woolly carrier
Height: micro
DOB: August 25, 2025
Price: Being Retained
Registrations: ADMS & ACOSA Registrations

Great Grand Dam: MGF Venus White Raven, White, 33" Woolly (MGF Lines)
Dam: Winding Creek Farm Black Russian Susan, Black nlp, 32 3/4"
Sire: Circle C Black Russian, Black w/Cross, 31" (Canadian Lines)
Dam: WCF Cleopatra, Dark Brown, 34"
I had the luxury to hold Savant under my hat for a year. He is a pistol! Spunk 10000%
He is quite the dandy boy and has the looks and size to prove it. He has remained tiny considering his dam's size. He carries many powerful bloodlines that I always revere and am excited to cross. The dynamic genetics here will give you OPTIONS with color and who you can breed him to in the future. He has unusual bold black mutation spots in addition to his regular dark brown spots. He will make someone an excellent jack in the future. I already have his paperwork from both registry's. IF you are looking for unusual, and something that not everyone has in there herd, Savant is your guy!
