Seeing those mules reminds me of one time when I was teenager I was in the hospital with and elderly man "well he was about the age I am now 71 years old". He had two young mules and that was all he talked about. Every time someone came in the room to visit him the first thing he would said did yawl feed my mules this morning. Then when they left the last thing he would say "yawl better take care of my mules".
That is awesome! I am sure I would be the same way about my mules if I was in that shape also. I do care for and love my mules a lot. Thank you for sharing with me, and thank you also for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Man, the girls don't seem to be straining at all. Looks like you are on a leisurely trip to town. Zack, everyone can tell you care for your mules. I really enjoy the Christian messages you've been adding. Thank you for being bold with your faith.
Thank you sir. The wagon makes things easier for sure and increases our production. And I feel like I should always put the lord first. Because if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be anything at all anyway. I owe everything I am to Jesus. And I am glad to share that message. Thank you sir for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
You are starting to make me really appreciate mules. I have never been a mule person. I had one many years ago, and we didn't see eye to eye. I have many people around me who swore by them, but I just never hit it off with them. Watching your mules is showing me how patient and precise they are.
Well thank you ma’am! I prefer mules just because they work a little more methodical and slower than a horse does, USUALLY! They think before acting. To some folks, this is a nuisance. To some, they appreciate it. Mules usually take shorter steps while pulling: and while this makes them slower because of shorter strides, imho it allows them more strength and endurance. It’s sorta like having a lower geared vehicle. If that makes sense. They’re def easier keepers and for me…well I just love them. I love their minds, their gentle eyes, their long ears, and their curiosity. They’re sorta like dogs when it comes to people. They truly bond with you. After a while. I’ve had good horses and mules alike. But I’ve had more good mules than I have good horses, I’ll say it that. Or at least ones that I thought were good anyway. Mules are very intelligent animals, and they function on routine. The same way, every time..if that makes sense. When a person finds a way to channel that energy, you get a far superior work animal. Again, imho of course. I like horses and mules alike, but my heart prefers mules for work. Anyway, thank you for such kind words as always. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care friend and do come again!
Those girls stand so good with that machine working close to them
They do pretty good; they know how to appreciate time to take a break. Thank you ma’am for always taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again c please
My uncle had mules years ago, and they would come running from way back in the pasture, run down beside road chasing after him and his stock trailer wanting to go to work in the log woods . All he would have to do is open gate and stock trailer doors and they would jump in . If they Could have talked they would have said lets go.
I bet so! They get to where they really enjoy working once they learn and get in shape. I think they like getting out and seeing things also. Breaks up the same ole same ole. Thank you for sharing with me and also for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Zach...thank you for putting together another great video of the Mules working alongside the loader. Blessings.
Yessir brother, you’re welcome! I’m glad to do it, and thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it, take care and do come again!
This is the 3rd video so far, very interesting to watch the mules. They are beautiful creatures God created all. First video was shoeing the mule explaining shape differences had to see more. Didn't know people log with mules or horses. Better than heavy trucks taring up the woods. Thanks for sharing Jesus
Thank you ma’am for taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. There are still some folks around the country logging with animals. And it works in the right conditions. Sometimes we just can’t log a place. Terrain and such. But anyway, thank you for the kind words. Take care and do come again, please
Great video! Those Mules love you my friend! I was thinking as I was watching the video, that I wish my Son would have listened to me as good as your Mules listen to you! Lol. Thank you for being the Man you are! You have my Full Respect! God bless you and your family always!
That sure means a lot to me my friend! Thank you so kindly. My mules do listen pretty good thankfully. Thx for always taking time to watch and also comment. It’s good hearing from you. Take care my friend and do come again, anytime!

Very good video Zach. Yes sir work smarter not harder. Thanks for sharing your tricks and how you do things. Good seeing Kate and Alice doing a good job. You have some beautiful mules. Take care and God Bless.
Hey brother! Thank you kindly my friend. I really appreciate it. I’m glad ya enjoy the videos and thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again…
CAN'T NOBODY ACCUSE YOU OF NOT BEING A HARD WORKER! My wife watched with me you load that high load, I had to calm her down and assure her you knew what you were doing, after she seen the mules had no strain, she was content. And thanks again for talking about Jesus.
Thank you sir for the kind words although there are idiots out there that wanna spew hate every chance they get. They think because I like to eat that I’m just a fat lazy specimen of a human being. Anyway, thank you for the kind words my friend and for taking time to watch and comment. I do appreciate it! Send my blessings to your wife also. I am always glad to mention Jesus also. After all, without him..I’d be nothing! Thanks again my friend! Take care and do come again anytime!
@@zachodom7486 SO TRUE I WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT JESUS AS LORD! BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR ON THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT AND THE FRUITS OF THE FLESH SOME FOLKS HAVE NO FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL FLESH AND THEREFORE THEIR FRUITS ARE OF THE FLESH.
@@terryhelms1578yes!
Good training on your team don't see much anymore well done
Thank you sir. Yes, I’m afraid you’re right. Not many “working” teams anymore. Lot of wagon teams seems like. But it’s hard to make honest teams when all you do is wagon ride. Anyway, thank you for the kind words!! And thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Like your attitude. Refreshing to see wholesome content! Keep it up.❤
Awesome! 😎 thank you so much and I’m glad to hear that. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!!
Great video Zach, be safe and be well,
Ty sir and will do! You as well…thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
Good to see you’re still able to move timber even though things have been muddy. It’s been drying up some here in western Pa, but there’s still plenty of mud to be had out there. Take care, see you next time!
Yessir moving slowly, but moving thank goodness. Thanks for the kind words my friend and thx also for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
You get one of them willow oak twigs in your ear you’ll know it.

Love ya'll for Jesus but the way you must climb aboard that load I must pray for you.
Thank you, sir! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment… I do appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
My Son would say" Dad, no matter what happens, every day above the sod is always a good day"!!
Sounds like a wise man to me! The older I get, the less and less I sweat things. I tend to let things go and just try to be happy. And keep others around me happy. Ty sir for the encouraging words and also for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Their thinking dads on the load let’s go
Yes ma’am, they know…
Amen.
Yes, thank you
Do you ever cut any pine timber?😂😂😂
No sir not around here I haven’t. There’s no real market for it. I use to cut a lot of pine saw logs down in Alabama years ago. Here, it’s mostly all hardwood timber and hardwood markets. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
What is the benefit of using mules? Less impact on property? Cool factor?
The biggest factor that I see, is… It is easier on the young timber. And it don’t tear the ground up near as bad as heavy machines. The cool factor is also a benefit. And it is more peaceful conditions to work with less overhead! That is a good question, and thank you for asking! Also, thank you for taking time to watch in comment. Take care and do come again anytime
You have to good trained mules.
Thank you kindly! I am proud of them. They’re an honest pair. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please.
Kate and Alice seemed to have no problem in pulling those heavy loads, why don't you stack two logs high and take less space on your landing, if you are loading big red with the skid steer I can't see the difference to load your sold logs, what am I not seeing or understanding. Another great video I'm still amazed at is how you softly speak to your team, stay safe and stay clear of both ends.
Well, if you pulled the wagon alongside a stack already and unloaded, they wouldn’t roll at easy over the tops of the logs that’s there. They will however on flat smooth ground. And usually if I have the room such as here, I’ll dump a whole bunch of logs like I’ve been doing here, then I’ll sort the logs and stack them according to grade and where they will go with the skid steer. To clean the deck up. Then repeat the process the next day until we get 3-4 loads up. Then, I’ll take time and just haul them. Loading the truck with the skid steer. Kate and Alice does me a good job for sure. They’re making a real nice woods team. And thank you for such kind words my friend! I appreciate it. And thx for taking time to always watch and comment. Take care buddy, and come back when ya can. Thx
I was wondering whether them log’s might slide around if they were damp.ya know
No, not really. Now they do slide better on the ground when it is a little slick out. So that helps mules a little bit. For grounds skating. But as far as loading the logs… It doesn’t make much difference.
You strained a lot more in this video than your mules, which by the way, handled every load very well. They are tall, but not as heavy as horses the same height, and so holding a load downhill is also quite some work for them.
Yessir I did lol. This is wagon makes getting more footage a lot easier on them. My mules aren’t that tall really. 16.2 hands and 1500#. They’re pretty heavy for their size. Most draft mules are taller but narrower than mine. I look for weight in my mules rather than height. But either way, it’s still work. I’m pleased with them. Thanks for the kind words my friend and thx for taking time to watch and comment! I appreciate it. Take care and as always do come again, please
What do you typically bring for lunch big man?
I don’t usually eat while I’m in the woods to be honest. I don’t like to eat much while I’m working. I do however drink quite a bit. I keep a couple water jugs. Thanks for the question and also for watching and commenting. Take care and do come again.
I didn’t see your lunch bucket lol
Nah, I don’t usually eat while I’m working. It’s harder for me to work really on a full stomach. I do drink quite a bit while working tho. Lots of water. 💦
That’s good water is important in the heat
@@terrythomas7035yes ma’am 😊
How’s Sarah Beth doing with her pony?
They’re both doing good. She will be back to visit with us, here in a week or so for summer. They will have some time to play together thank goodness
Do I hear cicadas?
Yessir, wide open right now. Thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
That’s a trailer load.😂😅
Yessir..
