Darren Yoder

Darren Yoder is a Percheron horse breeder in Bloomfield, Iowa, serving Davis County and the Iowa City area. With more than a decade of experience, he follows breed registry guidelines and maintains detailed records of lineage, routine veterinary evaluations, and hoof care.

His Percheron foals are raised on mixed grass pastures with ample turnout and introduced to halter training within the first weeks of life, emphasizing gentle, consistent handling. A balanced feeding program of forage and grains supports steady growth, and foals interact daily with family and other livestock to build confidence. Breeding stock is selected for sound conformation and a calm disposition, traits that are evident in the strong build and steady temperament of each young horse.

The family-run farm combines traditional methods with attentive daily care, drawing on local veterinarian partnerships for health protocols. Owners often commend the ongoing support in areas like nutrition planning and farrier referrals as their horses progress to driving or ranch work.
