Foals
Copper Star Miniature Donkeys
Adamstown, Maryland

Going Against The Grain Since 2005
All of the foals here at Copper Star Farm are my focus. They are the product of 5 years of finding the best donkeys to breed together. Here in Maryland, I breed mainly for black nlp and wooly donkeys. But, many of the brood jennets here have bloodlines that span black/brown/red/white/gray pedigrees. They have come as far as Texas to join my herd. Many of the donkeys have very famous parents! If you look at my pedigrees you may agree with me!

I looked for 3 years to find the perfect jack. Hickory Hill's Holy Smoke came to Copper Star Farm in the summer of 2008. You will not find a stockier, sweet, smaller black nlp jack (with a star) out there. He is poised to become one of the most renown black nlp herdsires on the east coast.
KZ's Ask Zoltan came to join us last spring. He is unique and I have yet to find a jack that is any where close to his coloring. Zoltan has a black muzzle and is a solid colored jack that is several colors. He is mainly camel brown colored with white/black/brown/gray hairs. He is coming into his own and will have babies on the ground next spring.

I do not sell my brood jennets. In my perspective they are a part of my family and I have added each of them with careful consideration to conformation, size, pedigree, personality, soundness and color. This year we have been blessed with Missy and Cash. Bunny just gave birth to her first baby, Whrily 12/20, after many years of trying to get her bred, but we lost Whirl after two weeks. It was heartbreaking. Now that spring is here we are ready and poised to have some amazing babies. Daisy had CSF Elizabeth Taylor this week and if the rest of our foals are anything close to this girl we are in for an amazing season of babies!

People say, "My your donkey's are expensive." And I say, yes.. they are not cheap. But if you consider that I have scoured the donkey world for some of the best miniature donkeys out there it makes common sense. My foals will be priced according to how much the sire and dam cost me. Not to mention that I feed some of the best hay, rye, and feed out there. You will be getting a quality, healthy, and sound animal that will bring you and your family much joy.

Copper Star's Elizabeth Taylor "Velvet"

Height: TBD Should be around 30-31"
Color: Jet Black No Cross (Not a white hair on this girl!)
Dam: Copper Star Farm's Whoopsie Daisy - Dark Chocolate nlp
Sire: Hickory Hill's Holy Smoke - Black nlp
As child I loved to watch old movies. With the passing of Actress Elizabeth Taylor this past week I felt nostalgic as I remembered her famous movies such as: Taming of the Shrew, Cleopatra, and National Velvet. Elizabeth Taylor was also a gracious humanitarian, and a philanthropist.
This little jennet was born the day that I heard of Ms. Taylor's passing. So I am humbly naming this little black jennet after the famous actress with the jet black hair and gorgeous lilac eyes. I hope that this jennet will be as spectacular as Elizabeth Taylor was in Hollywood and in Life!
Inquiries Welcome

Copper Star's Prodigal Son's Prayer

Height: TBD Should be around 32"
Color: Smokey Black with cross
Dam: GM Conrad's Denali - Brown wlp
Sire: Hickory Hill's Holy Smoke - Black nlp
If Angels were ever watching over me, they were yesterday. I took a long nap on Saturday after having a very full week. I overslept about one hour. I made my way to the barn and opened the door. Denali was standing there. On the stall floor was a baby trapped in it's birthing bag suffocating. Just born minutes before I got there. I ran as fast as I could to the other side of the barn. Opened up the stall.. grabbed the bag with my gloves and it was so tough it would not rip. So, I threw off my gloves and ripped open the bag with my hands and nails. Pulled the baby out of the bag. Held it up so fluid would come out of it's nose and mouth. He started to breathe and Denali jumped in to help me clean him up and to stimulate his little body.
I am so pleased to say that today he is doing well, up and nursing. Quite the stunning boy with his smokey black coat, nlp markings, and white inside of his ears.
Yesterday was amazing, scary, and just one of those days where you know that there is something else out there looking over us. I would like to honor the angel that was looking over my shoulder yesterday with a Prayer.
Inquires Welcome.
