Murphy's Mules

Call Directions

Murphy's Mules is a fourth-generation, family-owned farm that raises prize winning draft mules. Louis, Missouri.

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 Mammoth 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.

We are selling our mule 53’ semi trailer. We designed this trailer to transport 8-10 mules, cart and wagon, tack, and everything else needed and sometimes unneeded to the fair. We tied the mules sideways and used a telescoping pipes to secure them in place. The trailer is air ride equipped with reinforced floors topped with rubber mats. The front tack area has a bunk in it and we also carried beds downstairs to sleep. We had an ac installed and it kept us plenty cold. We waited out many rainstorms staying dry while out on the road. We designed it to be cool with insulation in the roof and air vents on the side to allow proper airflow. We hate to part with it but we just don’t have a need for it. We are asking $15,000 for it.

The top two mule c**ts in the picture were raised on our farm. We think they are special. Thanks to MM RANCH for the careful selection of our mule mares.

I know it seems like I just posted a picture of this mule but this is Earl. He was born April 18. He has an incredible looking head with a fantastic set of ears. He is good size with plenty of room to grow. He is consigned to the Hoover Mule c**t auction in October.

The final foal of 2024 was born this week, a female named Charlotte who enjoys ear scratches but dislikes flies. We strategically breed our donkeys towards the end of the breeding season to avoid confusing the jack and ensure preference for horses.

Sunday, marked the last day of foaling season. Kathy had a large mare mule c**t. We have 6 mule c**ts and Black Jack running around here. People always ask me, how do I tell them all apart? That is the idea. We want them all to look the same.

Calvin and Craig are coming along well and growing.
