Artemis Ranch Welcomes a Second Baby Giraffe to the Herd

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 24, 2025 [Artemis Ranch, Texas Hill Country] 


On the morning of June 15th, the Artemis Ranch family grew by four long, wobbly legs—and one very curious set of eyes. We're overjoyed to announce the arrival of our second baby giraffe, a beautiful and healthy little girl, born right here on the ranch.


Her birth marks a major milestone in our ongoing efforts to provide a safe, thriving environment for endangered and exotic wildlife. With her arrival, our giraffe herd is now six strong—and she’s already charming everyone with her cautious steps, long eyelashes, and gentle temperament. Mother and calf are doing exceptionally well, and our entire team, including the rest of the giraffe herd, has been keeping a close, protective watch over her as she grows more confident each day.


From all of us at Artemis Ranch, thank you for sharing in this special moment. These are the kinds of stories that remind us why we do what we do—conservation, connection, and creating space for awe.

Come Meet the Herd, Our Second Baby Giraffe – and So Much More


The arrival of our newest little giraffe is just one more reason to plan your visit to Artemis Ranch. Our guests don’t just observe—they interact. Feed the giraffes by hand, look them in the eye, and marvel at how gentle they are up close. But while the giraffes are always a favorite, they’re just one part of the Artemis experience. Here are five more unforgettable activities you can enjoy while you're here:


1. Go on a Private Wildlife Safari

Explore thousands of acres by UTV or guided vehicle as you encounter over 28 exotic species, from Grevy’s zebras and sable antelope to our friendly rhino, wildebeest, and eland. Our safari tours are an immersive experience unlike anything else in Texas.


2. Stargaze Under the Darkest Skies in Texas

Designated a true dark-sky area, Artemis Ranch is one of the best places in the state for stargazing and astrophotography. Cozy up by the fire pit or peer through your telescope-each evening to witness the Milky Way in all its glory.


3. Hike the Hill Country Trails

Whether you prefer scenic strolls or adventurous climbs, our private trail system offers endless opportunities to unplug, breathe deeply, and take in panoramic views of the rolling savannah, ridge lines, and native grasslands.


4. Dine in Style with Our Private Chef

Book a stay at the Lodge or Cottage and enjoy meals curated by Private Chef Kourtney Jackson, who turns locally sourced ingredients into soul-healing dishes—served in our stunning dining spaces overlooking the Hill Country.


5. Relax in Luxury Accommodations

After a full day of exploration and connection, unwind at the Artemis Lodge or Artemis Cottage, where every suite is designed for comfort and style. Enjoy your own private pool, hot tub, and the soft hush of nature just beyond your windows.
