Norman Yoder

Norman Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Walker, MO, Vernon County and western Missouri near Springfield.

Yoder has been raising Percheron horses for more than five years, adhering to recognized registry guidelines and scheduling regular veterinary evaluations. The herd lives in pasture-based groups with daily turnout and early handling to encourage calm temperaments. Feeding routines emphasize hay-first nutrition with unlimited access to fresh water and seasonal mineral supplements.

The barn and fencing have been upgraded over time to provide sturdy stables and safe paddocks for training and turnout. Several offspring have performed strongly at local county fairs, reflecting the farm’s focus on temperament and conformation. All stallions and mares undergo routine blood tests and conformation evaluations before breeding, supporting sound structure and reducing hereditary concerns. Weanlings are introduced to stalls in a small barn with gentle handling, preparing them for turnout and group dynamics as they grow.
