Mulberry, yes.

But, Morus alba (white) or Morus rubra (red)? Your zone 4 tells me it's not Morus nigra (black). White mulberry will have undersides of leaves smooth, red mulberry will have undersides hairy. Red mulberries are usually a dark red, while white mulberries can be almost white to pale pink, pale lavender, a dark red to almost black, and maybe some other colors.

If there is no male pollinator nearby, fruit will be seedless (like my mulberry

).
Unfortunately, birds has been eating nearly all of the fruit this year.
