John E. Yoder

John E. Yoder is a Percheron breeder in La Valle, WI, located in Sauk County and the Driftless Area near Madison. He has bred and raised Percherons for over 20 years, holding membership in the Percheron Horse Association and following recommended health testing protocols including genetic screening and routine veterinary care. Foals are born in spacious pastures and handled daily to encourage confidence and gentle behavior, while mares receive balanced nutrition and individual attention.

The farm has been in the Yoder family for three generations, combining time-honored horsemanship with practical management techniques. Monthly farrier visits and seasonal dental work support long-term soundness, and turnout schedules are adjusted for weather to keep horses thriving. A number of horses have earned placements at regional shows and have been recognized for their strength, willingness to learn and calm temperament. Visitors often remark on the clean barns and well-maintained paddocks that reflect a hands-on approach to animal care.
