David E. Keim

David E. Keim raises percherons in Genesee, PA, Potter County and the Allegheny Plateau near Williamsport. He has been breeding these horses for over a decade and holds active memberships in national equine associations.

All foals are raised in a pasture based setting with daily handling from weaning through schooling to encourage gentle temperament and social confidence. Routine health protocols include regular farrier visits, vaccination schedules and periodic evaluations for common draft horse conditions. The farm uses rotational grazing on rich grassland to support sturdy bone development and sound hooves.

Keim’s attention to temperament and structure has produced percherons praised for steady manners, strength in pulling farm equipment and ease at carriage driving. One recent owner described a colt as calm under saddle, quick to learn new tasks and well suited to family or professional work. The farm has operated on the same site for generations, blending traditional breeding with modern care standards.
