We love our Mules and Mammoth Donkeys!  A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.  A mule possesses the sobriety, patience, endurance and sure-footedness of the donkey with the vigor, strength and courage of the horse, making them an extraordinary animal to raise.  The breeding of mules in America started with the great lines of mammoth jacks given to George Washington by the King of Spain.  Since those first mules later breeders began to utilize better mares for mule production until today's modern saddle mule emerged.  We own and raise Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred mules.  We use our mules for trail riding and our team of Quarter horse mules, Dave and Sunday also pull a wagon. 

American Mammoth Jack Stock is the world's largest breed of donkeys.  The breed was developed in the United States through the cross-breeding of imported large European breeds (predominantly from Spain) with native American and Mexican donkeys.  Most people think that the common Spanish burro is the sire of most mules, but they are wrong.  It is very difficult to breed the short Spanish burros to a horse mare.  Mammoth jacks often mature up to 16 hands.  Now that’s a big donkey!  We drove all the way to Ohio to purchase our Mammoth Jenny, Sugar and she has produced many fine Mammoth jacks with outstanding color for us.  We love her kind, patience, sweet temperament.  Many, many years ago we adopted a BLM burro who produced a baby burro whom we named Buddy.  He is now over 20 years old and has been a steadfast part of our lives everyday.  They are excellent baby sitters for our young calves and kid goats.  Donkeys are world renowned for their herd protection abilities.  Not a bad job for either one, just watching the youngins!
