Not many people know that about rubbing the whithers is calming to them, it is very true, only a true horse,man or mule man knows these thing to calm youngsters , I know you know what your'e talking about,,,, great job Zach 👍
Thanks for the good camera work Marcy. Sometimes I think it's funny the way Zach warns us about how you have to watch a mule because he/she will kick you if you get too close or move around behind it and then he'll say, "Now Marcy, move in closer to get a better shot here." or something like that.😛😊🙄😬😁😅
Haha, well to be fair I know how close is to close lol. Anyway, thanks for taking time to watch and comment my friend. Take care and do come again, please
I do my best! I’m not always the most patient, but I do strive for it. Thank you ma’am for the kind words and also for the kind words. Take care and please do come again, anytime! God bless you
Good afternoon Zach, your channel just popped up and lm so glad it did as l love Mules so much.lve never had Mules but cant help but love them,lve had horses and been riding for many many years.lve subscribed to your channel because l can see that your a good mam,calm,sensitive,patient and the love comes through this video.So that good enough for me.l could see how the mare was nervous but you calmly,quietly reassured her...lm very impressed.Best wishes from England UK 🇬🇧
Thank you ma’am! I do try me best by my animals. Some are harder than others. Some need more patience than others. They’re like children. It’s a good teacher for both. They all need love, direction, understanding, and discipline. Not in any certain order. Thank you for subscribing and the kind words. I truly appreciate it. Take care and do come again, anytime! Please
I’m glad ya enjoyed it and could learn a little from it. That makes it worth doing..Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please!
Thank you kindly and yes the same principle! They both need love and care, but firm boundaries and discipline when needed. I’ve learned a lot about both kids and mules one from the other. It’s helped me a lot and taught me a lot of patience. Thanks for the kind words and for watching! I appreciate it! Take care my friend and come back when ya can
Zack another great video buddy like how you teaching mules takes a lot of patience what's the time in work how's the weather get better for you so you get back in the woods it's hard enough for a man to make a living as it is I won't take up no more you ov your time your friend Billy God bless and take care be safe
Hey brother! Good to hear from you buddy. Hope you’re feeling well. Thanks for the kind words my friend and for watching my video. I appreciate it pal. Take care of yourself and god bless you as well! Come back anytime
I really really enjoy your videos! My Grandparents farmed with mules when they were alive and had a small farm in Northern Alabama. I was born in the city and lived in Chicago. We would visit our Grandparents when we were on summer vacation for 2 weeks a year. I lived all year to go and see my Grandparents and be around the mules, chickens, hogs, dogs and cats. Watching you work with your Mules reminds me so much of my Grandfather working with his mules. I was scared of the mules because of their size, but my Grandfather would get them so I could pet them and maybe feed them. I don't mind if you show the same thing my friend, as the memories come rushing back to me when I see you working with them. God bless you and your family always my friend and be safe! Keep the videos coming! I really enjoyed today's video so much! God bless you!
That’s way cool my friend and thanks for sharing your memories with me! That’s awesome. I am glad ya enjoy the videos and thanks a whole bunch for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Take care and please, do come again when ya can. Thx
Just found your channel tonight!! You're not very far away from me, I'm in Tullahoma so a few miles away but I will continue watching you!! Love watching horses and mules as i can't have any anymore, i used to ride and dearly love to! I've been watching some of the rescues on RUclips and you popped up in my suggested videos to watch, and you being just in Morrison, gotta support locals!!! God bless and be safe out there!
I'm glad you understand June being jumpy. A great video showing different personality in animals..your miles are so well behaved, people would think all are that way.God bless you and your family brother in Christ
Yessir, they all their own personalities for sure. And what works on one doesn’t work on them all either. Sometimes you have to change things up a little to get the best results. I try to tailor my program to each mule and get them going my way as best I can. Thank you for such kind words about my mules and my family! I really appreciate it brother! And likewise…take care, god bless, and do come again! Please…
Love, patience and daily routine - all coming from an experienced teamster, that's what makes great draft animals. I like it that your mules when not working have choices to be inside or outside.
Yessir I try to be that for them and myself. And yes, they have the choice to run out or in. I only tie them while they eat at night for a hour or two. I think having turnout is very important for their sanity. Thank you for the kind words my friend and also for always watching! Thx a bunch and come back when ya can
Mr Odom, I just finished watching the video on our tv of you working on Ole Red and the log wagon. First of all your welding looks pretty good to me. I see your hens walking around your barn. They look like some good egg layers. I hope that seal works out for Ole Red. That’s a fine looking truck. When I get some free time I’m getting on your channel and roaming around.
I am glad you are enjoying it… And thank you for visiting! So far, the Will seal is doing good… Thank you for such kind words and for watching our videos. I really do appreciate it! Feel free to visit anytime.
Yessir, consistency is what I strive for and what I’ve found that horses and mules alike appreciate. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Take care and do come again when ya can.
Cool 😎 I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so kindly for watching and the kind words. Have you ever owned equine before? And what sorta things do you wanna do with them? Maybe I can give ya a little advice. I’ve owned both horses and mules. Big ones and smaller ones. I’d like to help ya if I can anyway. Thanks again for watching and taking time to comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please!
Another informative video. This guy is putting the work in. Don't matter what you're doing big or small, right or wrong, you tought the mule something😉
Thank you sir and good to hear from you! Yes, I mentioned to him the other day we need to do a video of him. He’s got two new colts he’s working so maybe I can get some footage of that. Anyway, take care of yourself and thanks a whole bunch for watching!
Mr Odom, this is a great video !! I really enjoyed seeing how you do the repetitive moves to get May and June to lift their hooves for you. I now know what you do to calm them. Wow, my ole grandma had a way with her mules just like you did doing that, stroking their withers. I never knew. She wouldn’t let me get near them out of fear I could get hurt. Mr Odom who taught you how to handle your mules? Was it Mr Somers? Thank you for these videos, I know it’s a lot of work, also your video operator Mrs Odom does an outstanding job. Thank y’all.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the kind words. So, my Pa was an old mule man from way back. I learned a lot from him. I have a good friend, Mr Ronnie Tucker, that I learned most of what I know from. And then there’s Mr Summers..he’s helped a lot. And another old mule skinner I knew, Mr Bob Cantrell, also helped me a lot. So I sum it up to this..I’ve got my ideas from a lot of different people at different times. They’ve all helped me a whole lot. And there are others that have helped me also. But those guys are the main ones. I’ve also learned some of it just by trial and error. And I’ve still got a lot yet to learn I feel like. But I am thankful for these fellas that’s made an impression in my life and my stock. I am thankful. Thanks again for the kind words. I appreciate it. And thanks for always watching and commenting. It means a lot. Take care and do come again, please.
@@zachodom7486 I wasn’t old enough to ask my Grandma much. She’d set on her old stump by the clothes wash spot and give me a biscuit. I would stay right there and watch her plow. Well it sounds like you had some good help and I’m grateful to you for the videos that help me understand a lot about mules, thank you Mr Odom.
Yessir yw! And thank you for the kind words and also for watching. I really appreciate it! God bless you as well my friend. Take care and do come again, please!
You’re most welcome and thank you for for being here! Thank you for taking time to watch and comment and for the kind words. Take care and do come again.
Thank you very kindly! I appreciate it. And I expect she will as she ages also. Time will heal. Thx for the kind word and also for watching. I really appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Just curious, have you tried tying up June first for a while, before she can get out her tie stall or is that not doable? Love watching you work with your mules Zac.
Hey brother! I have tried it before a while back and it does work. But sometimes then May will back out lol. I haven’t done it in a while tho. She usually will come right back in on her own or simply by me calling her. So I haven’t stressed a whole lot. And sometimes she won’t even do it. So I don’t fuss to much with her. That’s one of them “pick your battles” type of deals yanno?! lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting and the suggestion. It’s always nice to hear from you guys. Thanks! And thanks for watching! Take care and do come again, please.
I just learned that young mule foals, of both sexes, are referred to as "mule colts", until maturity! Is this correct? I've always liked mules. I think your training methods are humane. You're a knowledgeable and kind man! Very informative, thanks for sharing! Just found your channel today.
For our views sake and yours, It depends on where you’re located as to what they’re called…in our parts…they are “mare” mules and “horse” mules. When they’re under two years old, they’re colts. Both sexes. They’re either horse mule colts or mare mule colts. But either way they’re colts. Some parts of the country call them John’s and Mollies…but in the south, they’re horse mules and mare mules. Fillies are for horse people. It’s different in the mule world. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. And the kind words. Take care and do come again…
I know you've heard this. I wonder if she named June because she was foaled in June ? Old timers used to say June colts are crazy but I agree with you. That foal spends the first few months with it's mama and picks up Mama's traits. Was that Begian mare a bay ?
She was actually born May 31st..but my ideas were to name them May and June because of how they were born. May was born May 5th and June was born May 31st. So June it was lol. I’ve had other June colts before and they were fine. Stupid makes stupid…crazy makes crazy every time lol. If I had known the mare was like that when she was younger, I wouldn’t have bred her at all. She was a great work mare once she had some age. Idk! But we will see how June comes along…her momma was a sorrel believe it or not and her dad was a black jack with white points. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it. Take care and do come again please sir.
Another great video. Just had to put my mule down. Sure do miss her. If i heard right you got your colts from your brother. Does he still raise them? Keep up the great videos and God bless
I’m sorry to hear that my friend. It’s hard to let them go sometimes…my brother and I both had mares and raised them. We both got out of the mare business and just have mules now. But I could probably put ya in contact with someone who’s got some colts. Thank you for the kind words my friend and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Just let me know if ya want any further info. Email me if you like zachary.odom85@yahoo.com. Take care my friend and do come again, anytime.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. That makes it worth doing. Thank you for taking time to always watching and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again.
Another interesting and educational, this is the first time I hear you about the animals kicking, do you think they kick with their full power or just enough to let you know back off. I have been kicked by steers but lucky enough I knew what to watch for their crazy eye sizing you up and jumped out of the way but it still hurts, this happens especially when stalling them up, what is your opinion on this, thank you for sharing
Yes, sir, if you have been around stock very long… Then you know what to look for with an animal that is about to kick! It is no different with mules. They will give you a subtle warning. It is best to heed to it. I do not think she is intentionally mean she is just scared and nervous. That sometimes is worse than being mean. Time will tell… Thank you for the kind words and also for watching!
Thank you! Ok, so mules are the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Mules are sterile and cannot reproduce because donkeys have 64 chromosomes and horses have 62. When the mule colt is born, it has 63 chromosomes which is an odd number and cannot reproduce. When you cross a male donkey and female horse…you get the head shape and skeletal structure from the donkey and the size/muscling of the horse. The best of both worlds. Mules are stronger pound for pound than a horse, and heartier. They’ve got a keen sense of self preservation. They get that from the donkey also. When channeled properly, the mule makes a far superior work animal. They generally love people and are naturally curious of humans. The bond they form with their person is more like a dog vs a horse. Some horses bond well and some don’t. Donkeys and mules are just different. They’re not for everyone….but the ones that can get along with them, generally love them! I like both horses and mules alike. For different reasons. But when it comes to day in and out work..I prefer a mule every time. Mules are thinkers! And they take their time doing different tasks. They work slower usually, and are more methodical. They like routine and pick up on the little stuff better imho. Anyway, thank you for the question and I hope this enlightens ya a little about mules anyway. Thanks for asking! And thanks for watching…take care and do come again, please! Anytime..
I just wanted to let you know I got some of my stuff back on my phone my old email and my old RUclips channel so it'll come up Billy warpool like it used to do I just want to let you know that buddy so thank you and always another great video can't wait to do the next one God bless and be safe my friend your friend Billy
Sounds good brother! Glad ya got it figured out and thanks for always watching and commenting buddy. I appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please.
Yessir I understand that. I know the type..we will see as June progresses and ages as to what her fate will be..thanks for watching my friend and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again, please!
I think so! Most days anyway lol. Thank you ma’am for the kind words. Thx for taking time to watch and comment also. Take care and do come again, please
Just because they cannot reproduce doesn’t mean you will not get either male or female. They’re just born sterile. A donkey has 64 chromosomes and a horse has 62. When you breed them, the mule will have 63. Being an odd number, they cannot reproduce. But you will still get male and females of mules. They have all the parts to breed with, but they’re just not fertile if that makes sense. Hope this helps. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again:
It seems like animals will make you look like a fool every time you brag em up. They also act different if you show up outside of their normal routine.
Not many people know that about rubbing the whithers
is calming to them, it is very true, only a true horse,man or mule man
knows these thing to calm youngsters , I know you know what your'e

When you cross a male donkey and female horse…you get the head shape and skeletal structure from the donkey and the size/muscling of the horse. The best of both worlds. Mules are stronger pound for pound than a horse, and heartier. They’ve got a keen sense of self preservation. They get that from the donkey also. When channeled properly, the mule makes a far superior work animal. They generally love people and are naturally curious of humans. The bond they form with their person is more like a dog vs a horse. Some horses bond well and some don’t. Donkeys and mules are just different. They’re not for everyone….but the ones that can get along with them, generally love them! I like both horses and mules alike. For different reasons. But when it comes to day in and out work..I prefer a mule every time. Mules are thinkers! And they take their time doing different tasks. They work slower usually, and are more methodical. They like routine and pick up on the little stuff better imho. Anyway, thank you for the question and I hope this enlightens ya a little about mules anyway. Thanks for asking! And thanks for watching…take care and do come again, please! Anytime..

Right! Slow and easy for now. Things will probably improve as time moves on. Thank you ma’am
how do u know if its a boy or girl i always thought they couldnt reproduce
Just because they cannot reproduce doesn’t mean you will not get either male or female. They’re just born sterile. A donkey has 64 chromosomes and a horse has 62. When you breed them, the mule will have 63. Being an odd number, they cannot reproduce. But you will still get male and females of mules. They have all the parts to breed with, but they’re just not fertile if that makes sense. Hope this helps. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again:
Human or Animal 🇨🇦😂
Yessir! Thanks for watching my friend..take care and come again!
It seems like animals will make you look like a fool every time you brag em up. They also act different if you show up outside of their normal routine.
That’s about the size of it lol. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend. Take care and do come again…
I figured it was because Mrs Odom was there videoing. That plus a different time of day threw their routine off.
