Ridge Farm Mules & Shorthorns
Meet our Jack -
Lake Nowhere Boaz
Foaled on December 29th, 2020, Boaz is coming into his sixth year and already making a name for himself as an exceptional Mammoth jack. This striking red dapple jack stands 14 hh and offers outstanding bone, balanced conformation, and eye-catching presence that’s hard to miss.
Boaz carries some of the finest heritage American bloodlines in the country. He is the son of Lake Nowhere Simon and Lake Nowhere Sarah, and the grandson of AMJR PCF Genesis - lines known for producing quality, consistency, and athletic ability. And Boaz is proving himself worthy of that legacy.
Boaz is already siring athletic, intelligent, and kind-minded mules. His foals are showing the traits every mule enthusiast values: strong structure, willing minds, and versatile ability. Bo has three foals on the ground, including two born this spring:
In March, Ridge Farm welcomed both a john mule and a molly mule – Reveille and Reckless.
His disposition truly sets him apart. Boaz is exceptionally calm and gentle, recently stealing the show in a local ‘holiday lights’ parade where he confidently traveled the route and happily accepted photo-ops, and attention from children along the way and after.
Recently started under saddle, Boaz has proven to be a quick learner with a willing attitude and a strong desire to move forward. When out on the trail: “Bo don’t whoa! Bo wants to GO!”
Lake Nowhere Boaz is proudly owned by Allen and Laura Mast of Ridge Farm in La Porte City, Iowa, where he stands for the 2026 breeding season. He is registered with the American Mammoth Jackstock Association and is available for shipped, cooled semen. Boaz is quick and willing to breed, settles mares and jennies alike.
If you’re looking to add quality, disposition, and proven heritage to your mule or mammoth program, Lake Nowhere Boaz is a name to remember.
