Nestled in the rolling countryside, Rocky Ridge Whitetails is often described as the most meticulously manicured deer operation in the country. Every fence line and enclosure is maintained with the same precision and care that defines the Amish way of life. This commitment to excellence extends beyond appearance—it's at the heart of their breeding philosophy.

Rocky Ridge Whitetails specializes in developing deer that are genetically resistant to Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a major concern across North America. Through decades of selective breeding and careful genetic tracking, owner John Ervin Stolzfus has produced some of the most sought-after bloodlines in the industry. Breeders nationwide look to this farm for genetics that promise not only trophy quality but also health, resilience, and longevity.

"Integrity, hard work, and respect for the land are the foundation of everything they do," says host Keith Warren. "Their goal has always been to raise exceptional animals and contribute to the long-term health of the whitetail industry."

With more than two decades of proven results, Rocky Ridge Whitetails continues to lead the way in deer breeding innovation while staying true to its traditional values. Its success is not just measured in antler size or genetics—but in the trust it has earned from breeders across the country.
