Kalona Sales Barn

Kalona Sales Barn is a Percheron breeder in Kalona, IA, in Johnson County near Cedar Rapids. Their family-run operation has worked with draft horse bloodlines for more than two decades and follows registry health-testing standards and regular veterinary care. They maintain membership in national draft horse associations and uphold the registry’s guidelines for conformation and temperament.

All horses live in open pastures and receive daily handling from an early age to encourage calm temperaments. Nursing foals join broodmares on rotational grazing fields and spend nights in a spacious shelter with their herd mates. Emphasis on strong bone structure and balanced muscle tone guides their selection for future breeding stock.

The farm’s Percherons are known locally for steady gaits and gentle dispositions at community parades and harness demonstrations. Visitors often comment on their willingness to engage during grooming and light training sessions on the farm.
