Greatest Jackstock Importations 1885 to 1889:
"They found no jacks in the immediate vicinity of Barcelona, but on going out into the country they found the very thing for which they had been so long looking. At Grannollers, they bought a magnificent five year old, 15-1/2 hand jack called Jumbo, which was afterwards sold for $2,000, and........"

Deceptive Breeding Power:
"Worth mentioning is the deceptive breeding power of some good jacks whose pedigrees are short and who came from defective families. Any animal possesses, and passes on, the characteristics of his race. If there are inferior animals in his pedigree near him, some of their inferior points are more liable to appear in his offspring. No cross-bred animal can breed according to his personality. He can not show in the conformation of his body more than half the qualities which he carries and transmits. So that if by chance......."

Breed Profile:
"Less is known of the different breeds of jacks and jennets than any other type of livestock. This is true even in those regions in which they are best known, while in many sections of our country absolutely nothing is known of them. They simply know that a donkey is a donkey, and that the end of it. Now, we conceive it to be of the utmost importance that breeders especially should make themselves familiary with all the different breeds, because there is a vast difference..........."

"Assuming that the reader is familiar with the fact that there are half a dozen or so varieties of asses, many of whom resembling one another in externals, we wish to depict the AMERICAN MAMMOTH JACKSTOCK as bred in KENTUCKY in the 1800's only, and no attempt has been made to include jacks, donkeys, or burros belonging to the various other breeds....."

Step by step he mounted the ladder which was destined to carry him to the goal of his ambition - to prove to the world, by the average prices obtained for his stock, that he was breeding the best jacks and jennets in the world. In March, 1905, twenty-four years since his first annual sale, Mr. Monsees sold a number of jacks and jennets...."

Excerpt:
The Breeding and Rearing of Jacks, Jennets & Mules:
"As I am writing this book for the interest of my young countrymen and wishing to give them my experience, I have concluded to give them a brief history of one of my trips after the Civil War of 1861 to 1865. Previous to the war, I was extensively engaged in breeding stock, especially the jacka dn jennet. I had procured a first-class jennet jack, Maringo Mammoth, at the cost of $2,160, and after using him exclusively as a jennet jack at $40 per jennet.
I had at the time about seventy-five jacks and jennets and was compelled to farm many of them out to stockmen on the shares...."
".......when the four years' war was ended, many of the farms in my section of Middle Tennessee were torn to pieces, both armies having been about there for a number of months and finally met at our city, Murfreesboro, and fought one of the heavy battles of the war...."
"Stock could not be disposed of in my county, owing to the ravages of the war, but must be taken off where the people had not suffered so much, and where such stock was needed, and also where there was money....."

Protecting a Heritage. Editorial by B.A. Lange, Secretary, AMJR :
"Our stock is getting very valuable, and several outstanding individuals recently have proven to be an excellent investment, not only in terms of monetary value, but as potential seedstock for preserving the very existence of our breed. As with all rare and valuable, we must protect the breed, and that needs to include to protect them from fraud......"
