Weeds' Story

Farmstead's Wit's End Tumbleweed

Wit's End Tumbleweed is our 2001 show gelding who has a very extensive record of wins in the show arena. He has been the Tennessee Donkey Association's High Point or Reserve High Point Gelding for several years. He has also achieved his ADA Excellence in Halter Certificate and Supreme in Halter Award.

Weeds has a very laid-back personality and wants all attention given to him! He loves children of all ages and has been the focus of many parades and community events. Our grandchildren adore Weeds, and they have successfully shown him in both adult and youth classes the past several years. However, they especially enjoy just jumping on Weeds' back and goofing around on him. Weeds has been our daughter's favorite donkey since we first acquired him a number of years ago, and Weeds will be with us for many years to come!
