IN ALBUQUERQUE’S NORTH VALLEY, No Bull Prime Meats lives up to its name. For the past six years, Brett and Linda Rizzi have run a no-nonsense, all-flavor specialty shop and online store offering premium cuts—much raised on their McIntosh family farm and processed in their own Albuquerque facility. “You won’t see anything else like this in New Mexico,” promises Brett, who has been ranching for 45 years. The one-stop shop specializes in dry-aged, all-natural meats—no antibiotics, steroids, or GMOs—including bison rib eyes, grain-fed lamb chops, and Japanese Wagyu A3 beef, a customer favorite with a buttery, rich taste. “People nowadays care more about quality and consuming healthy products,” the rancher says. No Bull only has one number, Brett’s cellphone, and he’s available anytime to provide recommendations on the right cut of meat for a special occasion or how to cook one of their more exotic offerings, such as kangaroo, frog legs, or camel. “I give out recipes every day.”
