Hi! My name is Marty. My husband’s name is Ken. We share the same last name:
St. Clair. We live in rural Person County in central North Carolina. Our 30
acres of rolling hills are covered with native hardwoods and are the safe haven
of native wildlife. Lovers of Mother Nature, we are completely organic, never
harming our beautiful NC home with insecticides, chemical fertilizers, or
herbicides.
We
share Elevenses with 39 llamas, 21 miniature donkeys, one Shetland Sheep,
four goats, and an assortment of ducks, cats, and dogs. Eighteen years
ago we bought our first two miniature donkeys, Jason and Josie (I think getting
miniature donkeys was my idea; Ken insists it was his. Oh well!). Three years
later we decided it was time for a third miniature donkey and went to Virginia
to a farm to buy one. Guess what? This farm also had llamas! One look and it was
all over for us! That trip resulted in the acquisition of our third miniature
donkey (Jeremy) and two llamas (Patrick and Kallahan).
For someone who has been around animals my whole life, I am convinced that
llamas are different. Rather than being a dog who lives to please his owner,
llamas are more like equal companions who are anxious to share your life. After
just a couple of weeks with our first two llamas, we knew we wanted to become
breeders and started searching for a couple of females. We have had over 130 cria (baby llamas) born on Elevenses, including a seven-week premature female (Elevenses
Extraordinary Event) and twins (Elevenses Isis and Elevenses Serqet).
Miniature Donkeys, on the other hand, should have zippers on their tummies!
They are the ultimate stuffed toy! They are the perfect animal for children and
adults who just need a good hug now and then! We have a variety of colors in
both jennets (female donkeys) and our two breeding jacks (male donkeys) and have
been blessed by nearly 50 colorful foals who have spread love and joy to their
new families.
