C4 Enterprises, Inc.

C4 Enterprises, Inc. is a very small USDA-inspected establishment at 427 NM-573 in Tierra Amarilla, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, operating under establishment number M1503. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of January 6, 2025. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb.

The plant reports a slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year, and is classed by FSIS as very small. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. A secondary directory listing describes the business as offering cattle, sheep, goat, and pig processing for the broader Rio Arriba area, though goat is not among the species listed in the federal slaughter record.

No website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record, such as hours, pricing, booking practice, cut and wrap options, and ownership, are not yet on file. The listed phone number is (505) 660-0757.

The federal record lists slaughter of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, along with custom-exempt slaughter for animals the customer already owns, which returns packages marked Not for Sale. Farmers who want animals harvested under inspection for resale should confirm that inspected slaughter is available for their species and time frame, since the plant is very small and reports under 1,000 head per year. Booking practice, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap details are not stated in any source on file. Call (505) 660-0757 to confirm current availability, as listed.

C4 Enterprises, Inc. 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 allows direct sales of meat to household customers, and a secondary business directory categorizes it under meat stores. No source on file describes a retail counter, posted hours, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households should call ahead to learn what, if anything, is available for direct purchase.

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.
