About Fiesta Meats LLC

Fiesta Meats LLC operates at 15 Monti Vista in Elephant Butte, Sierra County, New Mexico, under USDA establishment number M2537. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest federal category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is December 9, 2025.

The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it can process animals owned by the customer with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. A New Mexico Department of Agriculture portal listing describes USDA and custom processing of beef, lamb, pork, and wild game, along with a limited supply of direct to consumer meats. A directory listing describes livestock slaughter and processing services serving the Rio Grande area.

The website recorded on file for this establishment resolves to FactoryRegistry, a general registry of U.S. manufacturing facilities, and contains no information specific to Fiesta Meats. A Facebook page under the business name posted in June 2026 about 2,000 pounds of USDA processed New Mexico grown ground beef ready for distribution, and in December 2025 sought people with meat cutting and butchering abilities. Beyond these items, details such as hours, booking practice, fees, cut and wrap options, ownership, and founding are not yet on file.

For farmers and ranchers

The federal record lists Fiesta Meats for both slaughter and processing of cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a producer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. A New Mexico Department of Agriculture portal listing describes both USDA and custom processing of beef, lamb, pork, and wild game. FSIS lists the plant as very small with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking practice, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Producers should call (575) 740-4175 to confirm availability and terms.

Fiesta Meats 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.

For households

A New Mexico Department of Agriculture portal listing states the business carries a limited supply of direct to consumer meats, and a Facebook post from June 2026 referenced 2,000 pounds of USDA processed New Mexico grown ground beef ready for distribution. The sources on file do not state retail counter hours, whether halves and quarters or bundles are sold, or whether delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered.

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.
