Homer's Story

Farmstead's Homer Hickam is a beautiful dark red jack born on June 8, 2025. Homer's Mother, Farmstead's Hattie Hasseltine, is a frosted spotted white jennet that is producing beautiful red show donkeys for us. Her first foal has been a consistent winner in the show arena, being named the winner of the large two year old jennet class at the 2024 NMDA National Show in Springfield, MO. Hattie's second foal, Farmstead's Ray Hicks, a yearling gelding, has just begun to show and is doing quite well. Homer is Hattie's third foal and much is expected from him in the show arena in the future. Homer's Daddy is our handsome red jack, Country Music's Rusty Weir, an own son of the well-known Country Music's George Jones, now deceased. Rusty has sired many winners in the show arena, and Homer will definitely be taking home the awards as he begins to show in the years ahead.
