Controversy and outrage can be heard across Lubbock after the American Museum of Agriculture had two mules euthanized for a local exhibit.

Museum board members released a statement on Monday saying the mules will be part of the McCormick reaper display. “After an exhaustive but fruitless search for preserved, exhibit-quality animals, one of our board members learned that an area horse and mule trader had purchased a pair of mules that would fit our needs. According to the owner, the animals had reached the advanced ages of about 28 and 32, respectively, and were no longer sound or strong enough for normal use.”

Equine Photo Caption Contest

Okay fellow equine advocates; it’s Sunday afternoon so lets have a little fun.

Terry and I were just out working in the yard when we decided to let our raucous herd of geldings out to join us and to chomp down on the yard grass as the mowers will be here, tomorrow. Well, true to form, one thing led to another and we had a rather interesting rodeo event occur which led to two of the bad boys, above, being banished back out to the pastures. Can you guess what they are saying, can you write (in a comment) what the caption to that photo should be?
