However, a few mules managed to keep their jobs until recent times. If you like mules, visit The Carolina Mule Association , The Mule Barn , or Mules and More magazine. Bob Carter Sr. pulls the filled sled to the barn. On the neighoring farm, an automated stringer is used. The loaded sticks are stacked neatly in front of the barn.
Workers pass the sticks, bucket-brigade style, into the barn.
This is what it looks like. This is Bob Carter Jr. at work. A tired but happy crew at the end of a long morning's work.
