Mule Power Shortage Warns of Rising Farm Costs
A Courier report notes 4,100,522 mules on U S farms in 1910 and 6,432,394 in 1820 with an 82 percent increase over time. Three year olds fetch market prices, and dealers report shortages as mare owners skip breeding due to low prices and high feed costs. Prices for horses and mules have improved recently, but overall mule power remains tight.
