With over 3,000 head of cattle, Buck Island Ranch is among the top 20 commercial cow-calf operations in Florida. The working ranch operation is owned by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; the ranch doubles as a living laboratory for the MacArthur Agro-Ecology Research Center, which focuses on the role of ranches in sustaining Florida’s ecosystem services. In addition to cattle sales, the ranch earns revenue from sod production, hunting leases, and cabbage palm harvesting.
