Some very nice equipment and some mules that you will travel a long way to find better. A wonderful teamster who had great pride in his stock and equipment. He will be missed. The link now has some online photo’s, take a look.

I went to Chuck Swanson’s auction today. I don’t know what mules usually sell for, but I thought his mules sold too low. The black team of 8 year old, well broke show mules brought about $875 each. The other three sold between 700 and $800.

I was not able to attend like I thought I would.
Bob, were the sorrel mules the that sold the same ones he used as a lead team? If so, someone walked away with one heck of a good team. Almost should have them arrested. Why is it when I go to an auction, everything goes high! How far are you from Hillsdale Bob? I am about 15miles south of Adrian, Mi. Not that far from you I think.

Gordon,
You must be about an hour east of us. Yes, I believe those were the same sorrel mules. He’d had them for quite a few years and the auctioneer said they were used in a 6 mule hitch. We’re about 20 miles southwest of Hillsdale.
