Item Description

The Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch is a world-renowned animal sanctuary in Murchison, Texas, about an hour southeast of Dallas. An affiliate of The Humane Society of the United States, the ranch provides safe, permanent homes for bison and cattle, horses and burros, antelope and apes, camels and llamas. The ranch is not open for regular public visitation, so this truly is a priceless opportunity for the winning bidder to visit a special place not many people get to see.

Your itinerary at the ranch includes an overnight stay in one of the property’s guest suites with a deck, as well as a private tour, lunch and dinner with Director Ben Callison and other staff members, plus a behind-the-scenes peek at the Exotic Team, Primate Team and Equine Team at work providing care for the animals. This part of your visit will be a somewhat interactive experience, under the discretion of the Team Lead and the ranch’s Director.

Its nearly 1,300 acres are home to more than 1,200 domestic and exotic animals, many of whom have been rescued from near-death situations such as slaughterhouses, biomedical research laboratories, and trophy hunting ranches. Others are discards from circuses or roadside zoos, or were former victims of the exotic pet trade. Still others have come from public lands where they were threatened with extermination by the federal government.

This unique and wondrous experience right there among the animals will give you an extraordinary perspective into the lives of animals who have survived and now thrive within the Texas landscape of Black Beauty Ranch.
