Estimate Your Mule's Weight

 

by Mari Lintin

Knowing your mule's weight is important for things like ordering harness, giving medications, and monitoring your mule's condition. To estimate your mule's weight, measure its girth and length as show in the illustration, enter those numbers in the fields provided below, and click on the "Weight Estimate" button. If you wish to keep records for several mules, enter each mule's name before printing the page showing its estimated weight.

Girth is the circumference of the mule's body about 4" behind its front legs.

Length is the length of the mule's body as measured in a straight line from the point of shoulder to the buttocks.
