History
Valentine Staubach, a German immigrant, homesteaded the ranch in 1865. The property's brick home was constructed shortly thereafter, with the upper level completed in the early 1900s. The barn, built by owner Antone Meyer in the 1920s, is the ranch's focal point.
The Hoeffner family purchased the ranch, which includes most of the original Staubach land, in 1997. Jeff and Marie Hoeffner and their adult children, Colin, Caitlin, and Kenneth, along with Kenneth's wife Angela, operate the ranch, contributing in unique ways. They raise 400 cattle and crops of hay and alfalfa. If you're looking for a historic ranch with a thriving cattle and crop operation, the Hoeffner family's ranch is worth considering.
