This vast 358,643-acre ranch lies in south central New Mexico and contains some of the most pristine Chihuahuan desert grassland in the Southwest. Its Fra Cristobal Mountain range is home to a reintroduced population of desert bighorn sheep, and the Bolson's tortoise has recently been reintroduced to its grasslands – both species are managed by the Turner Endangered Species Fund. Other large mammals on the ranch include bison, pronghorn, desert mule deer, cougar and oryx. The volcanic crater at Armendaris is a migratory sanctuary for one of the largest Mexican free-tailed bat populations in North America.
