Benson Ranch Miniature Donkeys LLC

Benson Ranch Miniature Donkeys LLC raises miniature donkeys in Gold Hill, OR, in Jackson County and the Rogue Valley near Medford. Cindy Benson cares for a small herd of miniature donkeys, focusing on sound hoof structure and steady early socialization. The ranch is committed to routine veterinary care, year-round access to fresh water, a balanced diet of quality hay and pasture forage, and pasture rotation to support overall health.

Each foal receives individual attention during early growth stages to foster trust, familiarization, and gentle training. The donkeys roam spacious grass paddocks with access to protective shelters and are gentle with newcomers. Visitors often comment on their calm nature and willingness to interact at a relaxed pace. Sandy soils on the ranch help maintain hoof health, and each donkey follows a consistent hoof-trimming schedule. A genuine respect for these animals shapes daily routines and lasting bonds.
