You better do an A'I project and deal me that mule-I've always wanted one.

He's a pretty good mule, but I want you to know he will kill calves. It seems like it is just the real newborns that tickle his fancy, but it is hard to ride by a drippin' newborn because he just goes bananas. He could probably be bought or traded for. :wink:

Don't sell him too cheap, Soap. He's about good enough to take
to one of the Mule Days. Bishop, CA, Montana Mules Days at
Missoula; Drummond, Montana...I guess
that's all the ones I know about off the top of my head;
but there are others. He looks pretty darn good in that branding pen.

Darn calf-killing bugger anyhow. :x
Mr. FH had a horse once that killed sheep. :cry:
