Russell Ranch

Russell Ranch, miniature donkeys, Red Bluff, California, in Tehama County and the northern Sacramento Valley near Redding, is a small family operation dedicated to thoughtful breeding and animal welfare. Kevin Russell follows all recommended health screenings and registry practices to support genetic soundness and well being.

Quiet paddock layouts and secure fencing allow young donkeys to explore safely under supervision. Selection focuses on conformation and friendly dispositions suited for family settings and educational visits. Every animal receives individual attention from birth through weaning, reflecting a steady commitment to responsible husbandry. Kevin Russell integrates gentle handling and early training sessions to foster trust and lifelong social skills.
