Allen Ray Yoder

Allen Ray Yoder is a Percheron horse breeder in Keosauqua, Iowa, in Van Buren County and southeast Iowa near Burlington. They have more than 15 years of experience in raising draft horses and maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association. Their program includes annual health screenings for fertility, soundness, and genetic conditions recognized in the breed. Breeding selections are based on conformation, disposition, longevity and performance records.

The horses live in pasture-based herds with daily turnout and consistent handling for gentle socialization. Foals remain with mares and peers to learn herd behavior and human interaction in a low-stress setting.

The Yoder family farm has supported local agriculture for generations, fostering a tradition of hands-on care and respect for animal welfare. Many owners comment on the calm temperament and reliable strength of these Percherons, qualities suited for both hobby farms and light work.
