Murphy's Mules, established in 1980 by Edward and Diane Murphy, is located in Farmersville, Illinois. Farmersville is a small village in Central Illinois, located 20 miles south of Springfield, Illinois and 70 miles northeast of St. Presently, the operation is managed by Edward and son, Courtney Murphy. Our farm is home to approximately 20 sorrel draft mules, several Belgian draft mares, and two M
ammoth jacks. These jacks stand for service on outside mares at our farm. Our involvement in the draft Mule industry began around 1915 with Ed's grandfather, William Murphy. He owned, raised and showed mules until his death in 1969. His love and pleasure working with mules was passed on to Ed who purchased his first pair, Judy and Jack in 1980. We have since grown our operation which includes a prize-wining six mule hitch. Each year we have at least one pair of broke, show quality mules available for purchase. Whether it be our quality hitch mules or our breeding jack stock, we pride ourselves on our attention to quality and our service to our customers. We are truly dedicated to the mules industry and feel very privileged to have the opportunity to make a mark in the breed's future. We invite you to browse through our site and please contact us if we can assist you in any way with your draft mule needs.
