Welcome to Mesteño Draw Ranch

Our beef is produced from young cattle that have never left the ranch in Mountainair, NM. They have dined exclusively on a diet of grass and forbs native to the area. We use management practices that enhance rangeland health. Raising grassfed beef is part of the restoration process.

The beef is dry-aged for two weeks. It comes to you cut, wrapped and frozen in 20-22 lb packs, quarters or halves. There are pick-up points in Albuquerque and Mountainair, NM. In addition, pick-up in Santa Fe can be arranged.

HUMANELY RAISED CATTLE
