We are used to seeing herds of cows or horses grazing in Texas. There are also pastures full of sheep and goats. Maybe you will see an occasional donkey or even alpaca. However, east of Conroe on HWY 105 lies the most unexpected ranch with African elephants. One family in Cut and Shoot runs the East Texas Elephant Experience. Here is all the pertinent information.
