King Creek Shires *

King Creek Shires, Shire horses, Bagley, MN, in Clearwater County and northwest Minnesota near Fargo, is a small farm focused on responsible breeding of draft horses.

With a foundation in traditional husbandry, Judy Anderson follows routine veterinary health screenings and provides daily turnout on mix pasture and stall rotations. Pedigree records are carefully maintained to support conformation and bloodline tracking. Pastures are rotated to preserve soil health and natural foraging, while shelters and heated barns ensure comfort during Minnesota winters.

Foals grow up in family settings where gradual handling familiarizes them with grooming, barn routines and calm interactions. Oversight of each stage—from breeding choices to early training—ensures young horses develop both conformation and a steady demeanor. Many graduates from King Creek Shires have gone on to light farm work or community driving demonstrations. Owner Judy Anderson describes this as a return to the Shire breed’s roots as versatile partners on small farms.
