Bautiful, yorkie!
As with so many skills, farming with a mule has jsut about become a lost art. The old guys were in the store with me one day, talking about plowing with a mule. They figured out that by the time you walked to the field, plowed all day, and then walked home, a man could walk a hundred miles in a day, easy. No wonder they died in their 30’s and 40’s.
They have a festival a couple hours from here—Benson Mule Days. You’d be surprised how many mules and draft horses there still are. These are truly working animals, and awesome to see in action!
GG, it looks like the Benson Mule Days Festival would be well worth a two hour drive! Wow!
