The mule was introduced in Missouri the 1820s and quickly became the favored animal among farmers. Mules are a mare (female horse) and Jack (male donkey) bred together. They have been around since before 3000 BC! They are smart, sure footed, and make excellent farm animals.
The Kallmeyer family farmed here for over 100 years. They managed a dairy, providing milk for the Hermann community. They also raised mules and draft horses, many of which were shipped overseas to be used in the war effort during WWI and WWII. Julius Kallmeyer was one of the largest mule providers in the region.
Pat and Jane have a rich history as show mules! They were purchased with the property in 2006. They are reaching almost 30 years old and are living their best lives in retirement here on Hermann Farm. They are very sweet and beloved by the staff.
Book a tour at hermannfarm.org to see these iconic mules and learn more about the rich history of Hermann!

Shire Drafts and Spring Opening 2018. Coming Soon! Staff is gearing up for our Spring opening. We'll have some new inventory in the Hermann Farm Mercantile and new foal will be at the farm this year along with the yearlings and mares. The English Shire was spoken of in Medieval times as the Great Horse or the War Horse, whose strength, courage and gentle behavior during calamity reflected the Roman's first sighting of these majestic beasts. King Henry VIII is attributed with adding to the breed's unique reputation by restricting breeding only for equines at 15 hands or higher. Their name, Shire, was created out of the localities in England where these Gentle Giants were originally bred, areas including Lincolnshire and Cambridge-shire. With their size and docility, these resilient horses were often relied on by army forces to pull heavy equipment into war torn topography where conventional mechanical means were ineffective. Shires are also credited with greatly advancing agriculture and commerce in both England and the U.S, although with the widespread use of gas powered farming equipment, the breed approached extinction. Designated a threatened species by the Livestock Conservancy, Shires are once again seeing a revival in their breed as riding, driving and farming horses. Hermann Farm has become a champion of the Shire and is actively participating in a breeding program to continue the advancement of these Gentle Giants. Call 573-486-FARM to schedule your tours. Times and dates to be announced. Enjoy the video of last year's Shire.
Farm Manager Corey Orr took on quite a project with the restoration of the Rasche family cemetery here at Hermann Farm. The gravestones were in fragments on the ground and in disarray from years of neglect. The plot was cleared and stones restored and situated upright and in order. A major project is now completed with this early resting place secured for the future. This is an interesting part of the tour to stop off and see the different styles of grave markers.
