Our Story
We selected the name Steitzhof as a tribute to my father who introduced me and my sisters to raising a variety of livestock on the family farm. The suffix, hof, meaning ranch in German. Now later in life I have selected my favorite farm animal, best suited for our new venture, Merino sheep. The goal is to raise the finest specialty wool fleeces for the craft markets.
