Welcome to T Bar J Ranch
Our Story
Our ranch was homesteaded by Al's Grandfather in 1909. He recorded our brand in 1911, using the initials of Al's Grandmother, Theoline Johanna. Thus the T Bar J brand has been a part of this land every since. Never belonged to anyone else.
We live on the short grass prairies of Montana where the deer and the antelope play, an occasional elk, moose or bear wander by and the coyotes howl at night.

Let customers speak for us
from 59 reviewsLiked everything we always get from Amber. This time went all hamburger!
The most important part is the quality of the beef: amazing flavor, tender. Almost as important is how friendly and down to earth they are. How many times have you ordered something and one of the owners contacts you personally to make sure everything went OK? Will definitely be ordering more.
The beef was outstanding. Could not ask for better customer service. They contacted me before and after the shipment to ensure everything was to my satisfaction.
What a wonderful experience.
The beef was soooooo good. Definitely will be ordering again.
We loved them should of order two.This last batch was little hard to open for us but.
So happy with the beef and pork. Steaks are tender with wonderful flavor. The sausage was the best ever, thank you Amber for the gravy recipe will definitely be making it again. I have a beef stick for lunch it’s perfect. Very happy doing business with T bar J ranch..
I would have to agree with other reviews the beef is so delicious I'm hooked no more store bought me for me!
Me and Carole love it all beef is definitely what is for dinner
We love our variety of meat we purchased. Each package has great flavor and we know we are getting beef and pork that is raised clean and grass fed. Al and Amber are true Montana ranchers!
The pork was processed and packed very nicely and has a great taste. Wonderful working with the Nordahl's!!!
Today was my first day that I used the ground beef shipped by TJ Ranch. I can honestly say the meat quality is absolutely superb. I have not had a hamburger this good in about 20 years..
No reason at all to go back to any box store with tainted beef.
The people at TJ Ranch are really nice and they actually do respond to emails and keep posted of the shipping.
Well, done👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you
Growing up with a butcher for a dad I know what meat should taste and look like as years have passed what’s in stores ain’t it. This is real meat not just in flavor but also texture and looks. Love it and so thankful I found your ranch. Thanks Amber for all the personal touches you put in every order!
we loved them !! Doesn't have all the garbage ingredients you find in the stores.
New customer but we will definitely be a life-long customer!
These trail sticks are a great protein snack for the entire family. Even the 3 year old loves them!!
Amber was very helpful and professional in answering all of our questions. Everything went smoothly from receiving the freezers to receiving the meat. The beef is excellent and very tasty. Never had this good tasting beef. Will definitely reorder from Amber (T Bar J Ranch Beef). Thank you Amber!!!
