Maurice, Good mules were expensive. I did think that was a little steep but that is the amount shown on the sale barn receipt. I guess these were good working mules, harness trained and ready to go to work. We were moving to tractors and away from mules but many folks still used mules, at least for some of the operations. Even if you used a tractor for plowing and planting a mule was still great for side dressing and cultivating. There had been a big boom in the cotton business during the war and I think it continued for a few years afterwards. We planted our last cotton crop in 1959 and switched to corn, beans and cattle. Did you folks down there use lots of mules? Slagle
