David J. Bishop

David J. Bishop, Percherons, Pickford, MI, Chippewa County and the eastern Upper Peninsula near Sault Ste. Marie. They have been breeding Percheron horses for several years, participate in national registry programs and follow recommended health screening for respiratory and musculoskeletal soundness.

On their family-run homestead in rolling meadows, broodmares and foals share generous pastures with daily gentle handling from birth. Focused on balanced temperament and sturdy conformation, these draft horses suit both farm work and driving events. Visitors comment on the calm dispositions of the team and the personal attention each horse receives.

The Bishops maintain clear records of lineage and care practices to support prospective owners. Family involvement extends to seasonal foal socials and educational visits that showcase sustainable pasture management. Their program is rooted in respect for the breed’s working heritage and the long-term well-being of each horse.
