Broke Ass Ranch Miniature Donkeys

Broke Ass Ranch Miniature Donkeys is a breeder of miniature donkeys in Ocala, FL, in central Florida near Gainesville. Larry Kilburn has raised miniature donkeys for over a decade, working with routine veterinary care, dental exams, and yearly vaccinations to support herd health. Animals are turned out on mixed grass pastures with access to sheltered run-in sheds, and foals are introduced to halter training within weeks of birth.

Kilburn’s approach values even temperaments and structural soundness, and each donkey is handled daily to reinforce gentle behavior around people and livestock. The ranch program includes careful selection of foundation stock to maintain breed characteristics and resilience in subtropical climates. Owners receive comprehensive care guides and ongoing support from Kilburn based on his hands-on experience. Visitors often note the calm attitude of foals around children, reflecting the ranch’s emphasis on early socialization.
