Craig Jeske

Craig Jeske breeds Percheron horses in Kawkawlin, MI, in Bay County and the Saginaw Bay region near Bay City. He has been raising Percherons for over a decade and maintains membership in national draft horse associations, with each animal receiving routine health screenings.

His stock are raised in pasture-based barns and benefit from early handling, daily turnout, and integration with a small herd to ensure calm temperaments. As a second-generation horseman, he follows time-honored breeding practices grounded in horse welfare and conformation. Foals are introduced to basic groundwork before weaning and handled on-farm by experienced staff familiar with draft breeds.

This methodical approach supports well-mannered horses suited to both show rings and light farm work. Transparent record-keeping of lineage and health evaluations helps prospective owners understand each horse’s background. Several horses have earned recognition at county fairs for their gentle dispositions and sturdy builds, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on temperament.
