Sire: Copper Star Farm MGFeltrinelli Editore, Woolly Spotted
Dam: Copper Star Farm Driving Mrs. Daisy, Spotted White
DOB: 2017 Spring
Price: $SOLD WENT TO WV
Roman is easy to work with. He is not aggressive. He has not had his "dude parts" drop yet but they should here in the next 6 months. If you are looking for an inexpensive semi-woolly based jack here is your chance. His mother is of a first generation pedigree (She is registered with IMDR) but his father's is extensive (ADMS) pedigree. His dam (Daisy) is known to throw bold dark spots & tyger spots.
He could be triple registered if you are willing to do the work. He could be registered ADMS - B Registry, IMDR & ACOSA. He has good conformation, good teeth and his demeanor right now is very laid back. Get him before breeding season starts April 1.

Keystone was born late in the summer 2024 / August. I have let him chill with his dam, Lucy through the winter. Copper Star is becoming known for its breeding jacks. I have many farms in the USA and Canada using our versatile jacks with extensive MDR bloodlines. Every season I pick one jack foal to keep back to see how they mature for future breeding. I could see the potential with Keystone from day 1.
Keystone is a chunk. He is staying compact with a nice head and strong bone structure. He has had several inquiries from international breeders as he matures. Keystone has a lot of red bloodlines in his pedigree. Woolly MGF lines, Texas show lines, Ass-pirin Acres, Donkette Korral, Bar 3S, spots, reds, tri-color spots, red & white spotted... Sounds like he could be your new jack!
I am very proud of all of my boys. They are my heart. I am excited to give someone this opportunity!
Keystone is available NOW! He is almost a year old and ready to go.

ChaCha came to me through a herd dispersal due to her owner's illness. The only reason she is for sale is that I have more donkeys out of this same line. She is easy to work with and can be an asset to any herd. Friendly and kind ChaCha is just perfect for the new donkey owner. Her pedigree is interesting and has some deep roots in the history of donkeys.
ChaCha's sister/progeny and her foals will continue her legacy here at Copper Star Farm.
ChaCha is in foal to Ace (34" Black & white spotted woolly) for a June foal!

Name: KMAF Denali's Black Twizzler
Color: Black wlp
Height: 33"
Age: Born 2007 / 18 years
Sire: Splendor's Black Flash, Black, 33"
Dam: GM Conrad's Denali, Brown wlp, 33"
Twizzler has been at the core of my breeding group since I started breeding. She has had many nice foals. I have retained her latest daughter Dita. Twizzler was my nativity donkey for many years. She is a true sweetheart.
Lately her feet have become more of an issue and she can not carry the weight of a foal any more. I will have her out at Zigbone in April when the weather clears to enjoy the pasture.
I am putting her on this page to see if the right person is out there for her to spend her golden years with. She is very special to me so I will be 100% picky at her accommodations. She must have a stall / not a run-in. And of course a buddy to spend her time with. If you think Twizzler maybe your new Boo give me a call.
Serious inquiries only. She is not to be bred anymore. It is time for her to enjoy her much earned retirement.
Price: $3500.00
Coggins & Health Certs $200 extra
Name: CP's Mighty Philomena
Color: Red Roan with blaze
Height: 33"
Age: Born 2004/ 21 years old
Sire: CP's Dynamite, Dark brown, 32"
Dam: LCR Philamena 64, Brown 34"
Philly needs to be retired from breeding. She is kind and a really good donkey. Super gentle and would make a great donkey to be with children. She needs a placement with a stall, not a run-in and a buddy. She has been on pasture and does well and is an easy keeper. She has had some recent dental work and is missing a bottom tooth that my equine dentist recommended pulled. She has recovered.
Please understand that there will be a lot of questions asked so I make sure she is in the right placement for her to spend the rest of her retirement. She will be at Zigbone until that time.
Price: $3000.00
Coggins/Health Cert is $200 extra
Name: Copper Star Farm Jambalaya
Color: Tri-Color Spotted
Height: 31"
Age: Born / years old
Sire: Firethorn Salsa Jane, 32", Dark brown
Dam: Top Hat's Paddington, 34" Black & white spotted woolly
Jambalaya has come a long way since he arrived two years ago. He was a young intimidated jack. Now he is breeding small groups of jennets 2-3 in a pasture. I gave him the time that he needed to grow and mature. He has traveled to another farm and bred the jennets at Little Ana Farm and Copper Star so he is proven. He is a gentleman. Jambalaya is easy to work with. He is not loud of boisterous.
I feel like it is time for his own herd. He would be a really nice jack for a small "show quality" breeder. I am keeping his sire "Ace", so it is time for him to find his own girls.
Price: $4000.00
Coggins/Health Cert is $200 extra
NEW DONKEYS ADDED 3/14! Two retired jennets available & a proven young jack.
