Jalap, Percheron stallion, 1926 Item Info

The gray (now white) Percheron draft horse stallion "Jalap," foaled March 5, 1909 in France (American Percheron stud book registration number 80583). He was imported to the United States in 1911 by J. 0. Singmaster of Keota, Iowa. Jalap was acquired by Professor Pew, head of the Animal Husbandry Department and Professor C. R. Curtiss for Iowa State College (University) in 1915 for the sum of $2500 and was chief herd sire until his death in November of 1930. In a 1936 publication called "How to select Percherons," a panel of one hundred Percheron judges and breeders included him as one of the top twenty-five best type Percheron stallions in North America during the 1900-1933 span of years. Jalap placed twenty-first among these premiere stallions, being described as a medium-sized horse of an upstanding type. Highly regarded, he stood for public service to Percheron breeders and farmers, siring many prize-winning purebred foals at state and national shows. He is pictured at seventeen yea.
