Mules are slightly smaller than their horse parent, and when they grow they share traits of both a donkey (the long ears), and the horse (color, tail, etc.). A Mule in the grass.
For example, a 2014 Ford F-150 is considered a half ton truck but most variants can carry a lot more than 1,000 pounds in the bed. Since these terms are probably not going away any time soon, it's best just to think of them as smaller, mediumest, and more than medium.. (Pause for laughter).
Shipping can be done in 10, 20 or 40 lb boxes. The most cost effective shipping amount is about 40 lbs which is two of the larger box packages or a quarter pig. A whole or half pig is shipped in multiple boxes as noted in their sections above. Figure about $100 to $200 per box for the shipping depending on location. You can minimize shipping costs if you elect to not get the oddments such as head, skin, bones, etc from quarter, half and whole pigs.
