my new mule!

[Donn Hewes]

See pictures here of my new mule! She was born last night around 1 am. I awoke to the donkey announcing the arrival. I hurried out to separate mother and foal from the herd as she came a week or two before we expected her. She is named Leora Gabriel for David Fisher’s kids, who were here for breeding day, but since I like to work with short names, I think she will mostly go by Lee. Cheers to everyone, I have had a great day. Donn

A red Molly! she is going to be one heck of a mule when she grows up. I am so glad that your mammoth jack worked out for you. I hope they bless you with another so that you can have a nice team of reds.

Best Wishes,

Hi Erika, I know I shouldn’t say it, but I am hoping for more than two red mules! I plan to sell all the other mules that are born and keep only these. In a few years I should have a real span of red mules.

Nice pictures! It is always exciting when the family grows…even more so when you have planned it!

Sounds like you need another nice Suffolk mare for your plans 🙂

GOOD looking mule baby Donn! Going to breed her back on the foal heat? Pretty late in the year I guess.
That is a good looking brood mare as well, what do the Suffolk people think of you plugging her into a jack?
Congratulations.

Hi Karl and JL, The only real Suffolk breeder I know seems to have forgiven me! My mules could be good advertising for the breed. If I work the animals I will have done all one person can really do for the future of draft power. The little nipper had its halter on today!

Karl, I think Poly is pregnant! I never had her vet checked this year because I never saw her come into heat or being breed, but now it appears to me any way that he breed her late last year. I guess another month or two will tell. I just sold Guy the other day. He came along way with me, but we weren’t going much further. I wanted room for all the foals and a neighbor wanted to hook him with another Percheron gelding in need of a partner. Talk to you soon, Donn

I toyed with the idea of breeding two Suffolk mares to a jack, most people I talked to made it sound like sacrilege, and I had no clue on how to pick out a jack. Glad to see you are doing it, I’d like to make it out some day to check them out.
