CLK
Ranch is located in the heart of the Brazos
Valley, approximately 20 miles northeast
of Bryan, Texas. We are only a 25-minute
drive from Aggieland in College Station.
We fell in love with and purchased our first
two miniature jennets in 1998. After both
presented us with their adorable foals later
that year, our passion for these fascinating
animals grew. Anxious to expand our donkey
family, we began our breeding program in
2000. What started out as a small hobby
has since grown and flourished into a 38-acre
home for our herd of jacks, jennets, weanlings,
yearlings and geldings.
All of our donkeys are registered with The
American Donkey and Mule Society. In our
efforts to ensure a sound breeding program,
we strive to secure and maintain the most
extensive pedigree records available on
each of our donkeys.
Our management program includes a rotated
worming schedule every three months, hoof
care and trim every three months, and vaccinations
at the recommended schedules for adults
and foals. We vaccinate for Eastern, Western,
and Venezuelan Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rhinopneumonitis,
and Influenza. Health records are maintained
on each of our donkeys, including the required
Coggins test results. Our donkeys deserve
and enjoy the best quality care and environment
and, in return, have rewarded us with continued
good health.
Our donkeys are pastured on a rotating basis
within 5 separate grazing areas and all
have access to proper shelter to protect
them from winter winds and summer sun. When
grass is not available for grazing during
the winter time or due to summer drought,
they are fed only the best horse-quality
Bermuda hay. Our most enjoyable time together
is when the occasional apple and carrot
treats are shared. Peppermint candies, though,
are their favorite.
We geld all of our jacks at the appropriate
time unless we receive a specific purchase
request for a jack to be retained. We currently
have two jacks in our breeding program.
We have a variety of geldings, jennets,
jacks, yearlings and weanlings available
for purchase at any given time and invite
you to view these donkeys on our FOR
SALE link. Be sure to check back
frequently as we add photos of each one
of our foals as they join our family.

some of the fun times we have had on the
ranch with our miniature donkey family over
the past few years.
