Cimarron Angus direct markets grass-fat lamb. The lambs are sold right off the ewes and weigh 115–125 pounds. They are sold live or processed from July though September. We use no creep feed or grain for either the ewes or lambs.

Our farm is located in northeastern New Mexico, very close to Interstate 25. The lambs are a new enterprise for Cimarron Angus. For the past several years, our main focus has been direct marketing their open replacement Angus heifers.

JX RANCH is a family owned and operated cattle ranch located in Eastern New Mexico, along the Caprock, a steep escarpment that traverses the ranch. Here our cattle graze on native pastures year-round, under Holistic Range Management, with minimal human involvement.  Our cattle are never given any growth-hormones, animal by-products or antibiotics of any kind and remain on the range from birth to processing.  We still use horses to gather and move the cattle in our rotational grazing program, in a no-stress manner. 

Our Longhorn cows are hardy, thrifty, resourceful, and through natural selection over the centuries, are naturally adapted to the arid lands of New Mexico.  They are efficient converters of available forage to energy producing lean muscle, with little waste in fat and high in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. We breed these Longhorn cows to Charolais bulls, and the end result is a lean yet very tender beef for your freezer.

You can purchase JX Ranch Natural Beef as ¼,  ½  or whole beef, and in order to keep it simple for our customers, we offer a “JX Ranch Package” where cuts are pre-selected as per our own choice of cuts, and an “Order Form”  where you choose your cuts yourself.  In addition, we take care of the transportation to the processor (Fort Sumner Processing), where you can either pick up the dry-aged, packaged-to-your-specifications and frozen meat yourself, or we arrange for shipment to you via FedEx nationwide

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, or stop by to meet us and see the ranch.

L6 Cattle Ranches is a family-owned beef cattle ranch located in the beautiful rolling grasslands of central New Mexico near Corona.

L6 Cattle Ranches welcomes with enthusiasm everyone seeking a healthy alternative to grain-fed beef in the feedlots. Our ranch respectfully allows the cattle to graze naturally rotating between large pastures. This process assures new grass growth and helps to control insect life cycle. The animals are allowed to live healthy happy lives, which results in beef full of Omega 3 fatty acid and beef that are not contaminated by acid tolerant e-coli. Our calves are free of antibiotics, hormones and animal feed products.

Our product is offered year round on a limited basis. We offer half and full beef. Selected steers are delivered to Fort Sumner Processing with instructions from our customers. Our beef is dry-aged and processed ready for local pickup at the processor or delivery nationwide utilizing Fed Ex.

At Moonbeam Ranch our Grass-fed beef is pasture raised using no growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. We have a small family ranch and only raise as many head as we can without stressing our pastures, the environment or our animals.

We have worked since 1996 to improve our pastures and water sources through the use of rotational grazing and other practices to improve the natural grasses. We believe it is unnecessary, and potentially harmful to give drugs to healthy animals simply for the sake of accelerated production.

We sell our beef each year in October through January. Supplies are limited. We take orders for ¼, ½ or a whole beef. We deliver them to the butcher with instructions that meet the customer’s specifications.

We are located about 40 miles east of Albuquerque, NM. For more information on our ranch, visit our website or send us an e-mail.

Ortiz Ranch is a small family-owned and operated business located about 140 miles east of Albuquerque. We specialize in selling grass-fed natural beef (on-the-hoof) to quality-minded customers in the area. If you have neither a trailer to haul the animal nor arrangements for butchering, for additional cost we can take care of these tasks for you by transporting the animal to a licensed processing facility nearby. Then you can arrange to pick up the frozen labeled packaged meat from the processor, or for additional cost, we can deliver the meat to you.

These steers are healthy and wholesome—no crowded feedlots, no antibiotics or growth hormones—they are relaxed free range pasture-fed animals. The meat is absolutely delicious. We believe that after you have bought one, you will want to purchase another one each year for your annual supply of beef. We ask prospective customers to call or e-mail us about prices and specific arrangements. We will reply to e-mail inquiries with a copy of our details and price list.

We also sell farm-fresh eggs, and small quantities of garden produce in season.

Ranney Ranch is a family-owned Angus beef cattle ranch in the high mesa country of central New Mexico in operation since 1968. This is our third year direct-marketing Grass-fed/Grass-finished beef both locally and nationwide.

Our cattle graze year-round on native grasses on our open range pastures. We believe in sustainable grassland management and use rotational grazing practices. We gather our calves on horseback in the fall and are committed to the preservation of the Western ranching tradition. Our calves get no grain, hormones or antibiotics; they are never confined to a feedlot. They are humanely handled at the Ranch and by Fort Sumner Processing, a family-owned, fully certified processor.

Our customers are pleased by the taste and tenderness of our beef. It is low in fat and cholesterol, high in the vitamins, CLA's and omega fatty acids found in fully grass-fed/grass-finished beef.

We offer half and full beeves for sale on our website or by directly contacting Nancy Ranney via e-mail. Our beef is dry-aged and packaged to customer specifications. We ship FedEx nationwide. A half beef yields approximately 100 lbs. and fits in a large cooler.

Come on down to the Ranch where the West still lives.

RidgeRun Enterprises, LLC offers LeanAndTender™ grass-fed Longhorn beef to customers throughout the U.S., including Steaks, Roasts, Jerky, Brats, Sausage, Gift Packs and more through our website.

Our naturally raised grass-fed beef products are prepared from Longhorn cattle specially raised by our family owned and operated RidgeRun Ranch, located on the high plains grasslands of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico—USA!

We use no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or animal by-products. For all the details, please see our Web page: "What We Do – What We Don't Do"

We personally attest to both the care of the cattle and the preparation of the product. We transport the cattle to a small, USDA inspected processing plant. Our custom, all-beef sausage products are prepared with natural seasonings at a small, family owned shop, which is also USDA inspected. We are also at the Taos County Farmers Market every other Saturday.

Why Longhorns? In the "Old West," around 1865, cowboys were fighting the Civil War. The American Longhorns had to fend for themselves on the open range and "survival of the fittest" was nature's way. They became naturally hardy and lean. They are the same today, and the beef is tender and delicious. Please visit our website today!

Shepherd's Lamb is a family operation that grows Certified Organic lamb in the old tradition, moving with the seasons. This allows the ewes and lambs access to fresh feed at all times and ensures the long-term good health of the range.

Our product is available year round in limited quantities. We sell whole, half or individual cuts of lamb at Farmers Markets, to natural food stores, and to restaurants in New Mexico, and by mail order to anywhere else! Orders can be placed by phone or e-mail. See our website for more details.

spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC, sells grass-fed, all-natural buffalo meat.

We have raised bison since 1998 on Trinchera Pass, NM. We handle them as little as possible, and guarantee they are not subject to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. For numerous customers with various diseases bison is the only choice for (red) meat. Bison meat is heart-healthy and recommended to patients (see “The Dakota Diet” written by Dr. K. Weiland, and the American Heart Association). It’s the best diet for athletes (high in protein), women (lots of iron), kids and seniors (essential fatty acids, low fat).

Bison meat tastes great. Bison is naturally juicy and tender and can be interchanged with beef in almost any recipe. A lower temperature should be used as bison is very lean and will cook more quickly. It has nutritional advantages over other meats—you get more protein with fewer calories and less fat. There is less shrinking in your pan because of no marbling fat.

We process our bison at a USDA inspected facility. After 10-14 days hanging the carcass is cut in custom packages and frozen. We sell the meat mostly by the pound, but also sell quarters, halves and whole carcasses. Customers can pick up their meat at the ranch or get free delivery to Trinidad and Raton. We ship interstate for an additional fee. In July/August we sell at the Farmers' Market in Trinidad, CO.

We always hand out cooking tips and recipes to our customers.
For any questions you’re welcome to call (575) 278-2316.
