Li'l Angels Miniature Donkey Farm is proud to present to you our Herd Sires, and reference Herd Sires that we have sold and have retained breedings to. Each has been selected primarily for their outstanding conformation, but there is so much more!
On page 2 we have several Reference Herd Sires listed. Click here for Herdsires Page 2.
Red October
Red October is such a beautiful jack and he has great conformation, but it's his great personality that I love the most. He has such a desire to please and a willing attitude with lots of heart. He is always excited to see me and never misses an opportunity to visit. He is easy to handle and very quiet. Red October is trained to drive, but due to his small size we have never shown him in the cart. I am amazed to see how well he retains his early training when we harness him up to go for a spin. He just loves to drive!
Red October won 1st Place Jacks and Model Donkey at the Heart of Texas Miniature Donkey Show in Corsicana, TX June 2003 at 20 mos. of age. At the National Miniature Donkey Association show in Corsicana, TX July, 2003 he won 1st Place Yearling Jacks. He also won 1st Place Jacks at the Texas State Fair in 2005 as a four year old, and Reserve Champion Jack. He won 1st Place Jacks and Supreme Champion Sire at the Texas State Championship AND NMDA Get of Sire at the same show in May, 2006 at the age of five. These are the highest awards a herdsire can win considering that it is his offspring being shown, thereby proving his worth as a breeding animal. Again he won Get of Sire at the Texas State Championship show in 2007. Check out some of his offspring on my Nursery page, and look on my Jennets page for some of his daughters and for jennets bred to Red October.
Red October is Dark red in color and yes, he was born in October.
He is 30 1/2" tall. Pedigree available upon request.
758's Red Pride
The first time I saw Pride he was two weeks old, and I tried to buy him from Ida Bess.......then, when he was about a year old I saw him and tried again . At the age of two, she finally relented and let me bring him home.
In addition to his obvious good looks, Pride is a real gentleman and loves being around people. We are really impressed with his willingness and sweet, gentle nature. I clipped him just a few days after his arrival, and he seemed to enjoy the attention so much he didn't have much concern for the clippers at all, even though it was his first clip EVER!
Pride won Champion Jack and Best of Breed at the 2008 San Antonio Stock Show. Being his first time out we expected him to be a little nervous, but he seemed to enjoy the whole thing!
We have no doubt Pride will bring some very strong genetics into our herd. Look for foals by him in beginning in 2008.
Red, 31 1/4" tall. Pedigree available upon request.
Li'l Angels Full Moon
ADMS National Champion
I knew the day this guy was born he would be a favorite with me. He was a long awaited dream come true, from our select breeding program where we had hoped to combine the outstanding performance qualities of Randy Travis with the halter qualities and overall balance we seek for our halter donkeys.
Everyday I look forward to visiting with Full Moon because of his wonderful personality, and working with him is an absolute dream. I have never worked with an animal so intelligent and willing...well, he is a jack, but he has such a great mind! If I can keep all that pointed in the right direction, he will no doubt be the most fun donkey I have ever worked with...in fact, he already is!
He has already proven himself in the show ring in both halter and performance by winning 1st place two year old jacks, and Junior Champion at the 2007 Texas State Championship show; 1st place two year old jacks, and ADMS National Champion Jack, 2007, and 1st place two year old jacks, and TAMU Model Champion Donkey. His Performance wins so far include Pre-Green Champion, San Antonio, 2007, TAMU 2007 Pre-Green Champion and State Fair of Texas Reserve Pre-Green Champion. Then he really outdid himself by winning Year-End Champion in Halter AND Performance...just what he was bred to do! He has also continued to win Supreme Champion Sire for his dad, and Produce of Dam for his mom.
News Flash!!! Full Moon wins Reserve Pre-Green Champion at the NMDA National show, 2008, and wins Produce of Dam along with his brother Frontier Legends Pawnee, for him mom, Muriel's Fun Farm Blaze, and also wins Supreme Champion Sire, along with his two brothers, Li'l Angels Boston Mac, and Small Pleasure's Colonel Travis, for their dad, Cobra's Randy Travis!
Full Moon wins Versatility Champion and Reserve Champion Green at his first driving show, Texas Shoot Out, 2008!
Gray/MSF, 32" Pedigree available upon request.
Li'l Angels Galaxy
Three Years Old
30 1/2"
We finally got a mature photo of Galaxy. Needless to say, we are very excited about this little cutie. He is very small, Black with cross, or "smokey black", extremely correct and has the most adorable head you ever saw! He looks like a little Arabian horse....with long ears! Most of all, I just love his personality! He is the sweetest natured little man.
When we bought 1/2 Teaspoon it was for the purpose of breeding to our Jazzy daughters. Blue Print was our first foal from this cross, and Galaxy is our second. What an outstanding combination!
Black, with cross 30 1/2" Pedigree available upon request.
Itsy Bitsy Mr. Playbill
Playbill is an exciting addition to our breeding program. His mother is a wonderful jennet who has produced excellent quality foals and show winners. Circle C Main Event is a multiple Model Champion and producer of excellent stock and show winners. This is truly a winning combination. We have finally added current photos. Playbill has grown into a beautiful young man.
Playbill won 1st place Jacks at the GCDMA fall show, and Reserve Model Donkey. He also won 1st place Jacks and Reserve Model Donkey at the Ft. Worth Stock Show in Jan. 2006, at 1 1/2 years of age.
Check out his first foal, Confetti, on our Nursery page. So far we are very pleased with the offspring Playbill has given us, and hope for many more. Look for jennets bred to Playbill on our Jennets page. News Flash, Playbill's two daughter's Li'l Angels Lacey Doll, and Li'l Angels Cover Girl win 1st and 2nd place weanling jennets at the NMDA Nationals Show, 2008. Lacey Doll goes on to win Reserve Junior Champion.
