Michael Boyd Davis

Michael Boyd Davis breeds Percheron horses in Boonville, MO, Cooper County and the Midwest near Columbia.

He has devoted more than a decade to developing sound draft horses as a member of the Percheron Horse Association and follows regular veterinary checks and breeding soundness exams. Foals remain with their dams on open pasture and are introduced to halter work by hand from an early age, fostering confidence and steady temperaments. The farm’s blend of turnout fields and sheltered stalls reflects a hands-on approach to daily care and socialization. Several of his horses have earned recognition at area draft horse classes for their solid build and gentle nature.

As a third-generation livestock keeper, he balances traditional draft horse heritage with modern care practices and locally grown feed blends. Boonville’s gentle terrain supports daily turnout, and stalls are bedded with straw harvested from the farm’s own fields.
