Amos D. Yoder

Amos D. Yoder, Percheron horse breeder in Seymour, Iowa, serves southeastern Iowa near Davenport. Yoder has focused on Percheron horses for many years and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association, following breed club health guidelines for joint and respiratory screenings. Horses at the farm live in pasture-based herds, with open-sided barns for shelter and daily handling from foalhood to encourage gentle temperaments. Breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary checks, including conformation assessments, hoof evaluations, and dental care, while a balanced feeding program highlights locally sourced grains and forage.

The farm traces its roots back three generations, blending hands-on draft horse breeding practices with modern welfare standards. Visitors often comment on the horses’ steady gait and calm manners, features that reflect careful socialization and selective pairings. Transparent records of bloodlines and growth milestones further support Yoder’s commitment to responsible breeding. Attention to pasture rotation and seasonal vaccinations rounds out a comprehensive health program.
