CARE:  Care of your new animal, once you get your new mule home, please keep it in a separate stall or pen away from your other animals.  Do this for 2 to 3 days before allowing it to run in the same pen as your current animals.  This gives the new boarder and your current animals time to get along and greet each other across any fence or panel early.  If you turn your new purchase out in a pasture, be sure to do this during the day so they are able to see all fences.  The new boarder will be inspected by the current animals and can be seen as running or pursuing the new boarder until they complete the introduction process.  

ENTERING MORE THAN THE MULES ALLOWED HERE:  Please fill out a second phone bid form and submit.  Thank You.
