IN Remembrance
JACK STEINER ~ Rearview Acres
Last Fall on August 28, 2024 the Miniature Donkey World lost a dedicated member Jack Steiner from Yates Center, Kansas. Jack and his wife Linda started their venture as hobbyists with the first miniature donkeys in 1982. By 1984-1985 their hobby had grown into more than just a hobby to Jack and Linda. They named their farm and donkey business Rearview Acres. Through the years Jack made his mark in the field by breeding, buying and showing his miniature donkeys to championships. Jack was known for his wealth of knowledge and sensible approach to breeding for soundness and the best attributes we all look for today.
You will find Rearview donkeys in pedigrees of significance worldwide. Jack’s contributions and reach of influence will not be forgotten. Jack’s family said he had “no favorites; he loved each and everyone’!
