To raise donkeys that are above the average, an exceptional brood jennet is just as important as an exceptional jack. There is a phrase we use around Quarter Moon Ranch.....THE PROOF IS IN THE PROGENY! The brood jennets below have proven themselves as top producers, and their foals are above average as quality breeding stock and show prospects. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY GETTING TO KNOW SOME OF OUR GALS!

QUARTER MOON ELSIE NMDA Champion Halter Jennet Sire: Quarter Moon Barney, 34 1/2", Black/Brown Dam: Quarter Moon Dixie, 31 3/4", Gray-Dun Grandsire: Foust's Spunky, 29". Gray-Dun, NMDA National Halter Champion Height: 32" Color: Gray-Dun
Elsie is an exceptional little gal, not just because she's a Champion jennet, but because she is passing on those show winning qualities to her offspring. That's the REAL test of a Champion. Elsie is small and compact with an exceptionally straight topline and full rounded hindquarter. There is nothing to fault on this gal. We're very proud of her.
Elsie is bred to Quarter Moon Fistful of Dollars, 2003 NMDA National Champion and Best of Breed winner. She will foal in the Spring of 2006. This should be another spectacular cross.

Whisper is not only an extremely correct jennet but she has all the flash and eye appeal you could want. She has an exceptional topline, is balanced and straight with lots of width in her chest and hindquarter. We are very proud to own her.

QUARTER MOON GOLD NUGGET Multiple Grand Champion Halter Jennet Sire: Circle C Red Tape, 33", Dark Sorrel Dam: Quarter Moon Mariah, 33 1/2", Brown Height: 32 1/4" Color: Brown
Pete and I are so attached to this gal and have been since the day she was born. Gold Nugget was born a winner. Her conformation at less than a month old was incredible. She has maintained that tremendous width in chest and hindquarter that she showed as a foal. Nugget is the definition of a stocky build. We like that. She will always be our baby "Nug".
Gold Nugget is bred to Quarter Moon Deacon, NMDA Champion Halter Jack, and will foal in the Spring of 2006.

Bonnie Blue is another one of the jennets from our breeding program that is conformationally the type of jennet we like to see. She is feminine yet heavy boned with proportion and type. We've shown Bonnie from a yearling and she has won many championship titles in her career. She has strong genetics that should serve her well as she makes the transition to the breeding pasture.
Bonnie is bred to Quarter Moon Deacon, 2003 NMDA National Champion Jack and Best of Breed winner. She will foal in the Fall of 2006.

She is also the dam of the 2003 Michigan RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION Quarter Moon High Plains Drifter owned by Lester and Linda Sutherland of the Bray'N Pool in Michigan. Muffin is a breeder's dream...consistent in production of quality foals no matter which jack she may be bred to. Another one of her show winning progeny is Quarter Moon Little Buddy sired by QM Barney and owned by Stuart and Jan Cawthon of CeleBRAYtion Acres in Aubrey, TX. Muffin's pedigree is extensive, and includes the BEST of the original bloodlines. She produces small and stocky progeny with dynamite proportion.
Muffin just had our first foal by our junior herd sire Quarter Moon Ticker Tape, NMDA Champion Halter Jack. It is a fine little jack named Ticker Tape Parade and he is sold.

Dixie not only is one of our best producers but she's also one of our most consistent. All her foals are small (31" to 32 1/2") no matter what jack she's bred to. They have exceptional rear ends (her sire Spunky's trademark), good top lines, and pretty heads. She will be with us always. Dixie was one of our first jennets and we love this gal very much.

CIRCLE C MARMALADE NMDA 1st PLACE HALTER JENNET Sire: S.S. Red Lightening, 32", Dark Sorrel Dam: Circle C Peach Schnapps, 33 3/4", Light Sorrel Height: 33 1/4" Color: Sorrel
In 1999, I was asked by Sharon Cooke of Circle C Livestock in Alberta, Canada to speak at their sale and seminar. I was happy to accept because I had already decided to attend the sale with a mission to be high bidder on Marmalade. I was! Not only was I successful bidder, but Marmalade was the 2nd highest selling jennet at the sale. It seems as though I wasn't the ONLY one wanting to take her home. Marmalade's conformation is extremely good, and her color is a rich red. She has sorrel and dark brown throughout her pedigree.
Marmalade has been bred to our junior herd sire Quarter Moon Ticker Tape for a Fall 2006 foal.
