Today at 3:45 pm, Penny the donkey gave birth to a healthy baby boy. We have named him Buckwheat.
Penny was rescued by us years ago. Once the Vet had given Penny a clear bill of health, we made the decision to have her as part of our small breeding program.
Penny still has a lot of trust issues which she is dealing with and even though she has come an incredible distance with those issues, she still has a ways to go.
It's funny though because only when she is in the last few months of her pregnancy, she becomes very calm and even somewhat friendly and this behavior continues once she has given birth and as long as she has her little one at her side. She even has complete trust in us when handling her little ones. As crazy as it sounds the greatest progress we make with Penny is when she is a mom.
Penny's little boy Buckwheat will eventually be a herd guardian/pet on a hobby farm. Our small breeding program allows us to generate a small amount of income to help with the funding for our animal rescue and sanctuary farm. Animals helping animals!
