Joseph E.G. Yoder

Joseph E.G. Yoder, Percheron horses in Milaca, MN, serves Mille Lacs County and central Minnesota near Minneapolis. Yoder has focused on breeding Percherons that blend strength with a calm disposition, following guidelines from the Percheron Horse Association and routine health screening protocols.

For more than a decade, he has been involved in Percheron breeding and remains an active member of the Percheron Horse Association. His horses graze in open pastures with daily turnout, and foals are gently handled from birth to encourage trust and ease in training.

A balanced feeding program and regular farrier work support sound development and overall well-being. Several of his Percherons have appeared at regional fairs, with one placing second in the draft horse class last season. Yoder’s approach reflects a commitment to timeless husbandry practices and a genuine appreciation for the breed’s role in both farm work and community events.
