You could pay anywhere from $10 to $50 for a good horse or mule, and about the same for an ox.
some mules live on farms but not all of them
Yes but it's normally called a hinny. Most hinnies look the same as mules but a small proportion look very much like horses and a similar number look rather like donkeys. Mules can bray like donkeys but hinnies can't. The only sure way to tell a mule from a hinny is to have it karyotyped.
During World War I, the cost of purchasing a donkey or mule varied depending on factors such as location and availability. Generally, prices ranged from $100 to $200, with mules often costing more due to their greater strength and utility for transport and work. The demand for these animals was high, as they were essential for logistics and support roles in the military.
Yes, unlike mules, they can. They are sometimes confused with mules--most of which are sterile. Nothing is more precious than a "baby" donkey (foal).
how much does it cost to call africa
Very few horses were used . . . the wagons were almost universally pulled by a team of oxen, or a team of mules. Mules and horses needed grass or grain to stay healthy, but oxen could feed on pretty much anything. Mules and horses needed to eat constantly, but an ox could store food in any of four stomachs and could be fed at morning and evening and work all day. Mules were especially difficult to control, and both horses and mules would wander from camp, but oxen stayed put and were easy to control. Oxen were a third as much as mules and much less than that for horses. An entire team of oxen could be purchased for the cost of a horse. Oxen were good in mud and slippery conditions, but horses and mules were not. On the other hand, oxen were not good in heat, so they tended to be used in the summer in the morning and evening with a siesta during the heat of the day. Mules could do a third again the number of miles that oxen could, but were not very strong, and had poor stamina. Oxen could use a yoke and push their load, but horses and mules needed complicated harnesses to pull their load. Hooking up oxen in the morning took much less time than hooking up mules or horses. Once you got to your location, oxen could plow and do other things and were considered good meat, but horses and mules were less useful at the destination and were considered poor meat.
Mules were in common use and a pair was valued at $500 to $1000.
I wasn't aware that they did, although I know that they used mules. Both mules and donkeys are more intelligent and faithful than horses. They can also survive better in desert conditions as they barely sweat. US and British Army regulations state that 5 mules must be kept on the rations of 3 horses, showing that they are much cheaper to keep.
