Michael,
I usually buy about 100 lbs of unshelled nuts each year and then shell them for Christmas and birthday gifts for my 3 kids back east.

There is a pecan shelling plant located by the old WalMart on the southbound I-25 service road off of Loman sp? that puts them out for free almost every day in a big pile but they go fast and you have to get there early, like 6-7 am. Stahlman Pecan Orchards in Mesilla might be a source as they have a big shelling plant there.

You might check some of the other shelling plants in the Cruces area as a source. Sometimes you can get them from a nursery or landscape place in Cruces, but I don't know what the cost might be in bulk or a truckload. Hope this helps,
Bill
