Miniature jack donkey value?

Jerry says he's not worth a plug nickel.

The time has come to sell him..he's lonely and needs company and I don't want another donkey and jerryd have a stroke if i got another one.lol

I have no idea what his value is.

Prices are all over the place.

He's a year old,bottle fed about 2.5 to 3 ft high at the shoulders and weighs probably 175 pounds give or take a few.

I thought some of yalld maybe know.

Thanks in advance.

I'd lime.to.do private sale with him..not an auction.

Here at a sale he'd probably bring $100 to $200

Private sale - $600.00
Auction - $400.00
Are the prices I've seen on donkeys the last couple months

You got a picture?? Do you do anything with him or just feed him?

I would like to get a mule for riding and packing someday.

Snowy, that mini mule is way too small to be ridden, except by maybe a small child. Packing, yes.

They are cute, but for reason of getting one, Id get a full sized mule. Or mammoth jack. They are superior protectors of herd animals, large enough to kill big cats, wuffs, dogs, coyotes, even intimidating bears. They can pack, be ridden all day, anything the mini does and much more.

Most folks keep the minis for yard mowing, and just because they are cute. Which is great if that's what is wanted. They do eat less and don't need shoes.

The prices for the mini-donkeys are all over the place, from free to $1000.00. In general, friendly donkeys sell for more. Jenny donkeys sell for more. Donkeys that will let kids ride, or pull a cart, sell for more. Pretty colors sell for more.

My friend Marvin has had as many as 40 mini-donkeys at a time. Just weaned and then well trained donkeys sell quickest.

If he doesn't have any training and if he isn't pretty colored, I would price him at $400.00, if there's no immediate need to sell him. You could then gradually reduce his price, if he doesn't sell. Every time you re-list him at a lower price, take new pictures. People are hesitant to buy a donkey or horse that they have seen for sale to long.

He's actually not a Miniature breed he's a standard but he's very small.

His dad and mom both weigh 4 to 500 lbs each.

He's used to a comb and halter broke.

I am going to pretend I did not see this thread

Don't you need a cornfield guard Donkey?

Where my daughter was boarding her horse in Texas they had about 10 mini's, No one seemed to know who owned them or how they got there , they were adopted out to whoever would take them....

Oh yes, very familiar with mules just never owned one. I might be too darn old to train one don't want to mess up my years left breaking a one-dollar mule.

They are awesome animals.

I believe Jerry is correct on the value of a donkey.

Someone coming to look.at him.tomorrow.

200.00

He's really a sweetheart. I hope it works out for him thw have a small jenny who's lonely same as he is

I kinda feel like a donkey pimp actually.lol.
Hopefully he gets a new home tomorrow.

I love him but he's lonely.

How does that meat taste mixed with pork butter and ground ??

You have to marinate it.

No joke Catherine,
It's been many a year but I once rescued a pot bell pig a 100

Miles from here, it was a big pig, maybe 300 pounds

Got payed from the old folk and down I 40 we went.

Dropped the pig off at a petting zoo, found out later they all enjoyed

Eating it, I fed the employees well

Bet with the Boss man’s bait solution it would be a hit

It makes great burroittos.

600-800 some up to 1000.00 going rate around here right now. The wife is looking.

Omg I got screwed.lol

Buzzy..I have a friend that had a pot belly that weighed 350..it was so big it kept getting stuck under her house. Sh2 gave it to another friend and they butchered it.

He said it was so fat when he split it open there was 6 inches of fa on it all the ay around. Lol
He said it was some good tender eating though.

Funny but NOT fumny..lol

Not if you got rid of him and were happy with the price untill you found out you could have possibly got more.

He is gone you may have not recouped even your feet cost and darn sure not your time investment but the min he was gone your no longer incurring time or monetary cost. That could be a large profit alone depending on your situation.

Providence ..I was being a smartbutt.lol. I don't think i got screwed.
I got what I wanted..he's got a gf and more room to run.

It was never about the money.

I bottle fed him so i know I didn't even get close to breaking even.



I offered him at a price where someone had to really want him to pay it and I feel if they paid good money for him they'd take care of him
But they still got a deal

X2. They are more pets than anything

value around here variety

400.00 to 1,000

Was the pun, like the burro, not to your taste?
