Joe Yoder

Joe Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Bloomfield, Iowa, serving southeastern Iowa near Des Moines. He has over twenty years of experience, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and maintains routine health screenings with quarterly veterinary exams, farrier visits, and vaccinations.

His foals grow up on open pasture adjacent to the family barn, with daily turnout and early human handling to develop a calm disposition for farm life. Mares and foals share dedicated paddocks and receive balanced rations suited to their age and activity level, along with seasonal adjustments in feeding. Grooming and basic ground manners are part of the daily routine long before weaning.

Yoder’s breeding program traces back three generations of working draft stock, with several lines placing in regional shows. Prospective owners often mention his detailed guidance through selection and ongoing support after delivery. References are available from local horse communities and long-standing customers.
