I’m Elliott, a veterinarian and farmer in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I’m also a husband, father of five, and Army officer who just can’t stop thinking about how to make life and work better for people like me who love animals.
When I started buying highland cattle and miniature donkeys a few years ago, I honestly couldn’t believe there wasn’t already a modern, secure online marketplace for live animals. So I started building Creatures to solve my own problems, creating a transparent community for buying and selling, while also making it fun and easy to keep up with health, breeding, registrations, and all the other records in one place.
It’s already been a game‑changer for me to have every photo, video, and record in a single profile for each animal. Now I can just copy a link and send it to a potential buyer, another vet, or a friend without having to dig through my photos or track down records every time.
My crazy hope is that Creatures can be the online home for every known and loved animal around the world. I’m glad you’re here!
That's so great to hear! We would love to meet your cattle here on Creatures, and you can also use it to manage their records, share updates, and more.
Can’t tell you how thankful I am for 7D farms. Not only have we purchased beautiful animals we also got animals that are healthy, trained and well socialized. Any questions I have are always answered and I have so much support from 7D to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I definitely recommend 7D to anyone wanting to buy an animal from an ethical professional breeder.
We are on our third purchase from 7D and have had nothing but the best and most positive experience. Not only are their animals well cared for and just perfect, they take the time to understand your goals, recommend the right fit and help to educate you along the way. I highly recommend if you are looking to add mini’s to your farm!
Always great to learn about positive experiences people have with the farms and breeders here on Creatures! We would love to meet your animals here, too, if you're up for trying the platform out.
Mini donkey foaling season will begin in late March 2026. We are expecting 8 foals this year. Currently praying for warmer weather and a safe foaling season for all the expectant jennys. Foals are sired by CP's Marble Cake and Angle Acres Farm Marshall, both are spotted jacks.
We highly recommend Next Horizon Cattle! Communication was great, and buying our 7-month-old Highland bull calf was a smooth experience from start to finish.
They provided vaccine records, weights, bloodwork, and DNA genetics, and Theo arrived halter trained and easy to handle. All the information they shared took the guesswork out and gave us total confidence in our purchase.
Great to have you here, Colleen Caraway! Let me know if you have any questions about adding animals, using the record-keeping features, or anything else.
Thank you so much! I'm just checking everything out and getting familiar with the site. I will definitely reach out with questions. This is all great so far, thanks for creating this space for all of us. Very cool!
Elliott Garber she’s always had them. They are all over her coat. She actually tested Red by UC Davis! She isn’t black as originally thought. UC Davis tested two different samples and same results, red.
