£Mules with lambs

We're looking at the minute, seem to be plenty at the £180 mark, some a bit les than that but to be honest they weren't up to much!

Decent sorts £180-£200. Depends where you are a little perhaps too, look at local market reports or even give one a call.

must've been a 'good lifer' thinking they were bidding for the two?


Keep telling your self that ;)

Will be a dealer buying them. You take the fat lamb and wool cheque... sell the gimmers and hope to top the autumn sales.

You get your name in the paper from someone elses work/breeding. Massages the ego and you think your a big shot. Thats what the Mule game is all about these days...

Well they were English Mules... so im no expert. But they looked to have a good colouring over the face.

Once pampered for the next 3 months, bloom and purl dipped, the face and neck shaven and the belly lines trimmed to perfection... youd never know it was the same animal!

And no, theres no profits in those beasts.
