Unfortunately nonresidents can’t draw cow tags in NM. Landowner tags can be bought sometimes from tag brokers, through outfitters and of course through landowners directly.
Cow hunts are not all the same, and not all are adventure worthy. Many times these cow hunts are nothing more than meat hunts. Drive out to a field in winter when cows and rag horns are together. Maybe a short stalk is involved but not much of a hunt. Pick one out that’s close and a clear shot then plug her and go get the pickup or a tractor and haul her back to the skinning shed. I don’t know if any outfitters that make it harder than that. They usually try to get you in and out in a day.
I’m not saying it can’t be done other ways or that a hunt like that can’t be fun or memorable but probably not the experience you have played out in your dreams.
I’d get ahold of Jordan or Casey at The Draw hunts and they can point you in the right direction.
