Gestalt Farms

Gestalt Farms, miniature donkey breeders in Barneston, NE, in the Great Plains near Lincoln, nurtures each animal with care. Loren Clemens has bred miniature donkeys for more than ten years and maintains membership with the American Donkey and Mule Society. Every foal receives early socialization in family settings and routine veterinary health checks for hereditary conditions. Each adult jenny and jack undergoes regular microchipping and screening for common equine conditions, ensuring well-documented lineage.

The donkeys live on rotational pasture with sheltering barns designed for ample ventilation. Daily turnout, gentle handling and enrichment activities help them develop steady temperaments suited for therapy work or hobby farms. Gestalt Farms follows a holistic approach that combines traditional animal husbandry with feedback from a growing community of owners. The farm's modest herd size allows personal attention to each donkey's diet, exercise, and temperament, reflecting a commitment to balanced well-being.
