(mules have long memories, don't they ?) They have long faces!

After thinking longer about this. I wonder if maybe you should corral the two together but with a fence between them for a time. This would give the mule a chance to get used to it and realize it's not a predator.
We did this when introducing our newest cat "Stewie" to the very appropriately named "Gimli" (kind of crusty in a friendly way and afraid of nothing.) We knew Gimli wouldn't take kindly to a new kitten at first so we kept Stewie in another room for a while where he eagerly presented his paws to Gimli under the door to play but Gimli just sat there and growled and hissed for a few days. Eventually, he got used to the scent and the idea of a new animal in the house and we slowly put them together. Now they are the best of friends.
If the mule can't be spared from coyote duty, then perhaps just fence off the calf somewhere still accessible. I know it's not "open range" for him at that point but it beats getting bitten in the ass by an ass.

Who's doing the soundtrack for the Minnesota Mule franchise? I'll be drafting a letter to Warren Haynes as soon as I get a chance. Now for your daily report from "the Banks of the Deep End". The mule and calf have reached an uneasy peace. We moved the herd to a new pasture and I built a spot in the electric fence where the calf can run under without getting a shock. (The mule can't) The calf now runs straight to that spot in the fence and jumps out into the soybean field. He stands their bawling for his mama-but at least he doesn't have to run for his life and he's too young to graze down the beans.

There's just something so right about the phrase "graze down the beans"

There's just something so right about the phrase "graze down the beans" And yet, not "right enough" for you to make it your SIG line....?

Now to really derail the topic, I also have one of these. Deadly accurate with pellets out to 100' or so. Scott
