I can't stress enough how important finding a good shipper is for a mule.Two days in a truck or trailer with the wrong shipper can screw up a great mule so bad it can't be fixed.
There are a lot of rescue mules out of kill pens in Texas it seems. $400-$500.
Of course I see a lot of 1st time mule buyers get them thinking they can save the little darlings and then ask " why is my mule doing this" or "I just bought this mule and now I can't catch it"
Ty Evans in Utah brings quite few of those Tennessee mules back and tunes them up then resells them. He seems to be one of the more reputable mule seller/trainers.
http://tsmules.com/$3k isn't bad. That is sort of a base price for a decent mule, but not a great mule. I paid $2800 for a 15 year old 13&1/2 hd mule two years ago and he is worth every penny.I wouldn't sell him for $4k right now.
