In this April 13, 2007, file photo by Jesse Tinsley/SR, Dr. Dirk Vanderwall, left, of the University of Idaho talks about mules with Penny Stokes, center, who is the barn manager at the Jacklin farm near Hauser while two students from Northwest Christian School check out Lochsa, one of the Jacklin’s mules. Now, Vanderwall is leaving the campus, as did his colleague Gordon Woods in 2006. The departures will probably lead to the demise of the Northwest Equine Reproduction Laboratory.
