Yes but very few mules ovulate spontaneously and, as male mules are always sterile, a mule can only have a foal by a horse, donkey or other pure species of equid. The majority of current mule mothers had their foals after undergoing fertility treatment. Mule mares can, of course, gestate embryos for other mares and have no difficulty lactating (which is probably the origin of so many tales of "fertile mules" - mule mares, like all mares, will produce milk easily if there are foals around.

∙ 11y agoA mule in Collbran, Colorado had a baby and this has left veterinarians and scientists scratching their heads. The little baby boy was born in April. Now the owners and large animal experts are wondering how this happened. It's such a phenomenon because female and male mules are supposed to be sterile, but the new addition to the ranch has defied all odds.
The owner of the mule, Laura Amos says, " A mule is a hybrid animal, it's a cross between a horse and a donkey. It has 63 chromosomes, so how could those split?"
Experts are conducting intensive genetic testing to find out exactly how this happened.
