Shane Hall
SVP of Commercial Credit

Meet Shane

I was fortunate to grow up in Southern Union County, New Mexico, where I was raised on a ranch and farm. My early years involved long bus rides—over 50 miles each way—to school in Clayton, New Mexico, where I developed a deep appreciation for agriculture and the auction business, learning the ropes from my father. After graduating, I attended New Mexico State University, where I earned a degree in Agricultural Education and Extension in 1993 and met my wife, Melanie, with whom I’ve shared 32 wonderful years.

Following graduation, I began my career teaching in Las Vegas, New Mexico, while also managing the Las Vegas Livestock Commission with my family. My work in the auction business included selling a wide range of livestock, as well as estate, ranch, antique, and memorabilia auctions. After teaching vocational agriculture and coaching football, I transitioned into the Farm Credit System in 2000, where I’ve had the opportunity to serve the agricultural community in a variety of roles.

Throughout my career, Melanie and I have maintained our own small commercial cow herd in New Mexico and the Panhandle of Oklahoma, and we continue to be involved in the family operations. Today, my brother and I ranch in Northeastern New Mexico, where we run a commercial cow herd, graze calves on wheat, and grow feed forage in the summer months.

We are proud parents to two wonderful sons and two talented daughters-in-law, and we were recently blessed with a beautiful granddaughter.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I have always made it a priority to serve my community. I’ve had the privilege of serving on several boards, including the Chaves County CASA Board of Directors (President), the Roswell Chamber of Commerce (President), and the New Mexico Junior Livestock Foundation. I’ve also lent my auctioneering skills to the New Mexico State Fair, Eastern New Mexico State Fair, and various other organizations and non-profits. Throughout my career, I’ve served on multiple advisory boards and organizational boards as well.

In my spare time, I enjoy donating golf balls to golf courses, capturing sunrises and sunsets, and watching football with my wife.
