Lily's Story

Farmstead's Lily May Ledford is a very cute 26.5 inch brown jennet who has captured the hearts of young and old alike! Lily was shown in four shows as a yearling, and she placed first in two shows and second in two shows. We have had numerous offers both in the United States and from other countries to purchase Lily; however, we felt that her small size could be problematic if she were to be bred.

We also always take Lily to community events whenever a donkey is requested, and she is always the center of attention at these events. She loves children and will follow them around like a puppy dog, and her size is just right for small children. For these reasons, Lily will be a part of the Appalachian Farmstead family for years to come!

Lily is expecting her first foal in May, 2025, by Farmstead's Cotton Top Mounts, our 28" red jack now owned by the Ames family in War Trace, TN. This will be a much anticipated, very tiny addition to our donkey herd!
