Alvin A Yoder Jr

Alvin A Yoder Jr is a Percheron horse breeder in Clare, MI, serving Clare County and central Michigan near Lansing. With more than two decades of experience, he is an active member of the Percheron Horse Association and keeps detailed health records, including routine vaccinations, Coggins testing, deworming and annual veterinary evaluations. His breeding program focuses on sturdy conformation, gentle disposition and sound movement.

Weanlings and yearlings are raised on pasture and given early handling to promote calm temperaments. Foals grow under constant supervision from foaling until weaning, with hitch training introduced to prepare older horses for draft work. His facilities include a stall barn with heated waterers and multiple turnout paddocks that allow horses to adapt to seasonal changes. Clients appreciate the even-tempered nature and strong work ethic evident in his Percherons.

Drawing on a lineage of foundation Percherons, his farm’s family-owned heritage stretches back generations, and Alvin incorporates traditional draft-horse knowledge passed down by local farm families to maintain breed standards.
