Both are said to be sterile. The Jennet, takes after it's father and is a more willing worker then the Mule which is apt to decide to stand still under load, and a bomb would not shift it. Took after it's father, silly Ass. There's a saying "As stubborn as a Mule" which is a perfect description of a Mule's temperament. Mules were used, usually by the Army, as pack animals [beasts of burden] Viola --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ================================== https://www.google.ie/ ================================== http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/placenames/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FERMANAGH-GOLD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
