Harold Koehn Grass-Fed Beef. We are a small family farm on the Texas/New Mexico state line, raising grass fed-finished Devon/Red Angus cross cattle since 2009. They graze on native pasture in the summer and use winter annuals (fodder) with free choice hay plus access to stockpiled grass the rest of the year.
Our focus is to build soil health; therefore, we use no chemicals on our pastures. Our cattle are raised from birth to market in a gentle stress-free way with no grain, antibiotics, or added growth hormones. We use adaptive management grazing to give the cattle the best choice of grass, practicing this since 1996.
We calve in the spring when the grass greens up to match the grass quality with the needs of the momma cow when calving. The beef is 22–26 months old when ready to be processed, which is done in our local State facility or a local USDA Texas facility. They are available in halves or as a whole beef, which is the most reasonable priced way for your family. By USDA standards, our beef has been rated as Choice.
Call for availability of our grass-finished, flavorful, tender beef.

JX Ranch sells grass-fed, grass-finished, 14–21 days dry-aged beef raised on our 7,000-acre ranch along the rugged escarpment in Eastern New Mexico known as the Caprock. Our cattle live their entire lives on our holistically managed pastures, are never fed any grains or corn, and do not receive added growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, animal bi-products, or insecticides.
We manage our land using regenerative management principles. We handle the cattle slowly and quietly to reduce stress that could affect the quality of your meat. We harvest them at around 17 months of age, which results in lean, tender and flavorful meat.
Order your custom-cut, quarter, half or whole beef for great savings, healthy and delicious eating, and to keep your freezer stocked. We deliver our cattle in March and September to a few select custom butchers in New Mexico. On our website you pick your preferred butcher, fill out a cut sheet, and submit it together with a deposit. We then take your cow to the butcher, where you will pick up your meat when it’s ready.
My husband Tom and I own and operate the JX Ranch and are the proud recipients of the following grazing awards:
- New Mexico Aldo Leopold Conservation Award, 2023
- The Quivira Coalition’s Outstanding Leadership in the Radical Center Award, 2010
- New Mexico Association of Conservation Districts Region VI Outstanding Stewardship Award, 2015

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.

Red Barn Ranch is located just north of Las Vegas, New Mexico, where the prairie meets the mountains. From conception to harvest, our beef cows live happy, low-stress lives, growing and fattening on green grass, blue sky, sunshine, and pure water. The young cattle are ultrasounded to ensure they meet our standards for marbling and tenderness in the finished product. We do not feed them any grain, and they are hormone- and antibiotic-free.
We strive to continually improve the grass, soil, water, and complete ecosystem with rotational, regenerative grazing and management. Retail individual cuts and ground beef are available at the ranch, Semilla Whole Foods, and Mallettes Farm Store in Las Vegas, and El Dorado Farmer's Market on Friday afternoons.
If you have freezer space, buy a quarter of young, grassfinished animal, we will haul it and pay processing and deliver it to you. It will be approximately 100 pounds of local, natural beef in your freezer for $9.50/pound. We produce year-round, but quarter bundles need to be reserved a couple months in advance.
Grass-fattened Beef — one of the most nutritionally dense foods. Come out and see the cows!

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.
Lambs are born on the spring range, and then the
band is trailed to high mountain pastures where they graze all summer
on lush native mountain grasses, forbs, and shrubs.
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.
