Eli R. Yoder

Eli R. Yoder, Percheron horse breeder in Fort Scott, Kansas, works from rolling pastures in Bourbon County and the Ozark Highlands near Joplin. Yoder has over a decade of experience, maintains registry membership with the Percheron Horse Association and conducts regular health screenings for all breeding stock.

All foals are raised in family paddocks with daily handling to encourage gentle temperaments and solid ground manners. The farm sits on historic land where gentle giants assist with light draft work and welcome seasonal visits from local schools. Owners note well-trained Percheron horse prospects that adapt to both farm chores and beginner-friendly show routines.

Each animal follows a tailored feeding program based on forage and grain ratios recommended by equine nutritionists. The breeding program emphasizes sound structure and calm dispositions traced through several generations of careful record keeping. Yoder participates in county fairs to offer hands-on demonstrations and support local equine education initiatives.
