Percheron Breeding in Illinois State Summary
Wayne Dinsmore discusses Iowa and Illinois horse trends. Draft breeds dominate, with Illinois leading Percheron breeding nationwide. In 1911 to 1912, 66 percent of draft stallions served were Percherons, aided by six corn belt states. Breeding concentrated in McLean La Salle Livingston Iroquois Tazewell Will counties, with northern progress outpacing the south. There is a need for more purebred draft stallions to improve access for farmers.
