The New Mexico Beef Council is a consumer-focused, producer-directed organization representing the largest segment of our nation’s food industry. As family farmers and ranchers, New Mexico’s cattlemen have a vested interest in the wise stewardship of our natural resources and the implementation of good care taking practices. As responsive producers, they share an interest in meeting the needs of consumers by providing high-quality, nutritious beef, while setting higher quality and safety standards than those required by the government. As individual family entrepreneurs, cattlemen raise livestock in more states than any other agriculture product, helping feed our nation and the world.
