Meet Your Ranchers
We're Al and Amber, and we're glad you stopped by!
Our family has been raising cattle on these Montana prairies since Al's grandfather homesteaded here in 1909.
The T Bar J brand was recorded in 1911, using the initials of Al's grandmother, Theoline Johanna. More than a century later, we're still raising cattle under that same brand.
This is short-grass prairie country, where the cattle graze beneath a big Montana sky, the deer and antelope are regular visitors, and the coyotes still howl at night.
We'd love for you to get to know the ranch, the cattle, and the people behind the beef on your family's table.
Let customers speak for us
These T Bar J sticks are top shelf in quality. Good texture. Good flavor. They actually taste like beef and really hit the spot on a long afternoon at work. #Recommended #CantGoWrong #GetSome
Always something just special ordering threw t bar j she works with to get it right for everyone
Smooth easy purchase, timely delivery and delicious meat. I like that I know the meat I eat was raised and processed in Montana. I recommend them for their meat and the honey was great
The quality of the meat is top-notch, from the size of the cuts, to the texture and flavors, the moment you see it you know this is not your average supermarket meat, and once you actually cook it and taste it the difference becomes bigger. The texture, tenderness and flavor of the meat is like nothing you've ever had. Additionally, the customer service experience is unmatched, they make you feel unique and special, I don't want to "spoil" it for anybody, it's just something you have to experience.
This is my third order from T-J , everything on oder is top shelf I have no need to worry if the Beef is real or fake. Steak's are perfectly cut to size and I really love the ground beef.iys especially good for making pattie melts on rye with grilled onions .yumm.
Great beef, great service, great people. Awesome and highly recommended
Best meat we've ever had and some genuinely great people.
What makes T Bar J Ranch better than what you can find at your local grocery store? Two things: great people and a great product. The two go hand-in-hand. A superior product, backed by great people. It's worth it to us knowing we're receiving all-natural meat from animals that are properly taken care of by genuinely good people.
T bar J Ranch has knocked it off the charts with their beef sticks. Nicely packaged and easy to pack for any occasion. The lean, tasty beef always satisfying. Will be ordering more.
Need a protein hit? Need something delicious for any reason at all? These beef sticks are top notch tasty and so easy to grab/eat when the urge/need hits! All flavors great ( haven’t worked up courage for ghost pepper yet but any day now🤣). Thank you Amber and Al for another superb product and magnificent customer care!!
Amber and Al go above and beyond in getting you the best possible beef with local rancher friendliness and care. Amber will take care of you like family.
Best customer service by Amber, bar none! Personal, friendly, professional. The beef is beyond divine, unsurpassed in flavor; arrived well packed on time schedule provided. Soooo happy to be a part of T-J family and will definitely order again!
Gave them to 6 families in our travels and they were a hit!
Delicious!!!!! I'm going to give these for Christmas presents 🎁
Awesome product, great company support, highly recommended!
