MULE CONFORMATION - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH

  • The ideal qualities to look for in a mule. 
  • What to look for in the ideal head, neck, and shoulders of the mule. 
  • Both the mare and the jack contribute to the qualities desired in the mule. 
  • Be selective in your breeding program to produce desirable mules.
  • Bone structure is important when selecting a mule for a job or performance.
  • The mule overall should have a balanced look to his body. 
  • Pay attention to the hip, stifle, and gaskin that should have a smooth-muscled look.
  • Mules and donkeys possess more "long" muscle than bulk muscle (as in the horse.)
  • Pay attention to the legs of the mule, the hooves, rib cage, joints, etc.
  • The most important trait of the mule is his disposition; this characteristic comes primarily from the mare. 
  • Assessing the jack - what to look for and more!
