In addition to the fine herdsire candidates that are listed under
BREEDING JACKS, we are proud to offer for sale below, some little boys that are
now or will soon become geldings. We realize that many people who love
miniature donkeys have NO interest in breeding them. Some want only to
drive, pack or show their donkeys. Some folks like to take them to fairs,
parades, civic and religious events, schools, and nursing homes. Others
like having them around for the grandchildren. If any of these activities
interest you, the miniature gelding is the perfect choice for several
reasons.

1. Geldings don’t have "breeding on the brain", thereby making them
more docile and safe to be around than a jack.
The worth of a gelding to its owner is priceless. The gelding becomes a
lifelong friend- one with whom you may share life’s ups and down, one with
whom you can make memories that will last forever, and one with whom you
can sit under a tree and share a cup of coffee and conversation with an
animal whose only desire is just being close to you. Quarter Moon Ranch
encourages the gelding of jacks because, in our opinion, he is the ideal
pet- lovable and gentle, yet strong enough to be driven, ridden, or
packed. So take a good look at the little boys we have
for sale. Your new lifetime friend or "coffee buddy" just may be here.
2. Geldings are generally more
compatible with other farm animals than jacks and less competitive in most
cases.
3. Geldings are less expensive than breeding jacks or jennets.
