Welcome to New Mexico
 Introduction
The State of New Mexico or Estado de Nuevo México is a southwestern state in the United States of America. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has simultaneously the highest percentage of Hispanic Americans and the second-highest percentage of Native Americans. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. Amerindian cultural influences. New Mexico also known as the “Land of Enchantment” borders Oklahoma, Texas, the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, Arizona, and Colorado. The states of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah come together at the Four Corners in the northwestern corner of New Mexico. Cattle and dairy products top the list of major animal products of New Mexico. Cattle, sheep, and other livestock graze most of the arable land of the state throughout the year.
