The business has proven to be a reliable and profitable source of income. The demand for miniature donkeys has been steadily increasing over the past 10 years. There are federal income tax deductions for feed, fencing, shelter, vet fees, advertising and insurance. There is depreciation on breeding stock. Raising miniature donkeys will qualify your acreage for a special agricultural- use exemption to reduce property taxes.
Miniature donkeys are easy animals to work with.
They are quiet and safe, with minimal requirements of a shelter, water, grass or hay, worming, and yearly vaccinations. There is no other type of livestock that has proven over the years to be such a reliable investment and that is also such a delightful, affectionate, and appealing animal to raise.
