In short, mules with good minds make safer mounts and mules with excellent conformation will stay in service longer as compared to those that are weak or lacking. This means, the mule will have a much better future to be in service. It is also critical to document and register the jack sires in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overbreeding is not desirable; those dedicated to the professional mule industry are careful about their breeding standards. Mules destined for the kill pen is not a pretty picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The future for the performance-bred saddle mule is in our hands; the overwhelming support coming from the mule world is phenomenal! Let&#8217;s work together and keep it going! ~Cindy K.
