Anna Ball

Anna Ball, miniature donkey breeder in Vaughn, NM, cares for her stock in New Mexico and Albuquerque. She has bred miniature donkey for over fifteen years and holds membership in the American Donkey and Mule Society. All adults undergo regular health screening for equine infectious anemia alongside dental examinations, annual hoof inspections and farrier care. Each foal is regularly handled from birth and enjoys turnout in small herd groups on irrigated pasture at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

Daily interactions with other livestock and family members foster calm, people-oriented donkeys. The farm’s lineage traces to a working ranch established in the early twentieth century, which local families still recognize. Visitors often note the gentle nature of the animals and praise the thoughtful breeding approach. Donkeys follow a schedule of age-appropriate vaccinations and strategic deworming under veterinary guidance.
