A & M Meat Processing, LLC.

A & M Meat Processing, LLC operates at 21 US Highway 82 in Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico, under USDA FSIS establishment numbers M2062, P2062, and V2062. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, with an annual slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The phone number on the federal record is (575) 430-8556; a listing for the business shows (575) 430-8566.

No website is on file with the registry. A site associated with the business, ammeatprocessingllc.com, lists the same street address and includes a page referencing M+C Cattle Company, describing rancher cattle as hormone free, GMO free, and grass fed with a 120 day grain finish. A Facebook post from January 2025 describes A & M as a USDA-certified facility serving ranchers. Details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings are not yet on file.

The federal record lists cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals owned by the customer, with resulting packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS places annual slaughter volume in the under 1,000 head category, so capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call (575) 430-8556 to confirm current availability and terms.

A & M Meat Processing, LLC. reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some direct sales activity, and a secondary page associated with the business references M+C Cattle Company cattle described as hormone free, GMO free, and grass fed with a 120 day grain finish. Specific retail counter offerings, halves and quarters, bundles, shipping, or online ordering are not described in the sources on file.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
