Westerhill Farm

Westerhill Farm is a Miniature Mediterranean donkey breeder in Lake City, MI, Missaukee County and northern Michigan near Traverse City. Its approach emphasizes herd health through routine veterinary care, nutritional support, and collaboration with regional donkey communities. The farm follows established breeding guidelines to support sound structure and balanced temperaments.

Donkeys roam open grassy pastures where they graze on a variety of grasses and receive daily gentle handling to build trust. Foals stay with their mothers and are gradually introduced to family settings to foster calm behavior. Regular farrier visits, dental care, scheduled vaccinations, and parasite management are part of its standard care practices.

Housed on a century-old property with fenced paddocks and a well-maintained barn for seasonal shelter, the herd is known locally for its calm temperaments. Prospective owners note the animals’ adaptability to small homesteads and gentle nature.
