Andrew C. Kaufman

Andrew C. Kaufman is a Percheron breeder in Mc Leansboro, Illinois, in Hamilton County and southern Illinois near Evansville. He follows guidelines from the Percheron Horse Association for health testing, conformation evaluation, and temperament assessment.

His Percheron horses live on rotating pastures with acorn-safe fencing, receive balanced forage-and-concentrate diets, and enjoy daily turnout alongside companion horses. Regular handling begins in the paddock as colts learn groundwork through halter exposure and positive reinforcement. The farm’s tradition stretches back several generations of Midwestern horsemen, blending time-tested draft training methods with a focus on individual temperament.

Homebred foals are evaluated for gait smoothness and structural soundness before they join breeding or working stock. Detailed health records accompany each horse from birth through maturity, ensuring clarity on vaccination, deworming, and farrier schedules. The farm’s shaded paddocks and well-drained arenas contribute to sound hoof health and comfortable turnout across seasons.
