It’s been nearly 40 years since the first mule team was brought to MU in 1984 by Robert Kahrs, then dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Today, Dodam, professor and chair of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, oversees the training of Mizzou’s Mule Teams - three pairings: Tim and Terry Boone and George Bess and Rose - and the veterinary students who care for them. “It’s incredible the impact Mizzou’s mules have on people.” “The Mule Team is a phenomenon unique to Mizzou,” said Dodam, who was so enamored by these intelligent, loyal, hard-working giants that he purchased a pair for his own piece of land.
