Hey Aaron! I can't believe you wrote and article about us! I have to admit I choked up a few times trying to my wife and mother in law at the dinner table. Today was one of those days that make us ask why do we do this with big Brother making it as hard as possible.
I can't thank you enough. We truly do appreciate being noticed. I have to tell you, we will be sort of in your neck of the woods next week in Kiowa picking up 4 more donkeys. These are two moms and babies.
We are going to do many things with this new herd including pack burro racing in Colorado, parades, community events in Nebraska, but mostly and more importantly we are going to use these newbies as therapy donkeys for kids in our community. Not even just kids, but adults too. I don't know why but after spending a day helping raise funds for Kim at her Burro Base Camp in Kiowa back in October, I just knew that this is what we could do for our community.
This will bring us up to 6 donkeys and hopefully now with our new shelter and corrals we can further gentle Donkey and Elmer so they can behave enough to be therapy animals too.
Thank you again, Kaylynn will be getting your order packaged and shipped tomorrow morning before she heads off out of town for the kids's highschool bowling meet. I have to stay home and get this stock trailer ready for a trip to Colorado!
I worked on a farm last year with people who had disabilities and they helped run the farm. We sold soap from donkey’s milk too. Sold fruit and vegetables, eggs from ducks, and chickens, home made blankets, wooden items. Those who understood more, were paid and got w2s. The owners/teachers were working on forever homes for the clients.
I really loved it!
My late husband worked on his grandfather’s pig farm in Va, and I felt so connected to him there.
I learned some cool things. Abt how to clip sheep’s nails; rehoove a donkey and horse; how to shave a sheep; how to help goats digest better to name a few.
The owners are still Ese teachers in the county. Those who have special needs in high school can stay until they are 23, or can graduate. Either way, it’s difficult and every family is different but it’s tricky to navigate post school for some. If you stay in high school, you are usually in a transition (not trans) class. These ladies were trying to help families have a place for them to go and continue to be productive members of society.
