Meet Your Ranchers
We're Amber and Al, and our family has been raising cattle here in Molt, Montana, since Al's grandfather homesteaded the ranch 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 on the same Montana ranch.
This is short-grass prairie country, where cattle graze under a big Montana sky, deer and antelope are regular visitors, and coyotes still howl at night.
Take Back Dinner, Time, and Control — Without Living at the Grocery Store
We put together a simple guide that shows how families make dinner easier — starting with what’s already in the freezer.
This isn’t a meal plan or a diet.
It’s how real families reduce grocery trips, decision fatigue, and weeknight stress — without needing a freezer or a big commitment.
Start here. Read it once. Let dinner feel lighter.
Every Beef Share Helps Feed a Veteran
-
When you reserve a bulk beef share from our ranch, 5 lbs of ground beef is donated in your name to the Montana Veterans Meat Locker.
This is our Montana 5 for Those Who Served commitment.- ✔️ No red tape.
- ✔️ No middlemen.
- ✔️ Just Montana beef going straight into the freezers of veterans and active-duty service members who have certainly earned a heartfelt thank you.
We deliver twice a year:
- Veterans Day – November 11
- Memorial Day – Last Monday in May
Your family gets clean, all-natural beef from our ranch, and a Montana veteran gets the same, because of you.

Let customers speak for us
i would say the biggest problem with theese beef sticks is they are just like potatoe chips ya cant eat just one !! in all seriousness they are a great source of protein and 1 or two of thoose in the morning and im good till lunch (i also start at 5 am) and work till 8or 9 pm
Stopped by to work on the phone and internet. After I finished I was sent on my way with some snack sticks. Ghost pepper, jalapeño, and teriyaki. All 3 flavors were delicious. I think I only made it about 5 miles down the road before I ate them all.
Good flavor with the Family flavor. The sticks are soft and moist not dry. Not a lot of additives. Seems to be a clean enjoyable trail sticks. I would purchase them again.
This product is the best beef stick ever! Tasty and perfectly seasoned. Not greasy! It has become the go- to snack at our house! Highly recommend! Great customer contact too!!
This is the most tender beef and full of flavor! Nothing like the store bought beef I usually buy. Even when I buy the expensive Angus or Wagyu cuts. T Bar J Ranch is Unlike any beef I have eaten in my 60 years. Amber is amazing to work with! Ordering & shipping were seamless. Amber sends great ranch updates every week along with helpful tips, recipes & suggestions on what to do with the less familiar cuts. I am a forever client now!
Hassle free, great people and great meat! No worries on where the meat comes from and all natural, top quality!
These are deelish!!! I got the mixed pack of the summer & teriyaki sticks...both are so yummie! I ordered them on line, they shipped & arrived super fast all while Amber is contact with me every step of the way! Amber is a Rockstar and their beef is truly amazing! Love these people and their beef!
Beef from TbarJ always exceeds expectations . Knowing where it is raised and processed is appreciated.We have received quality beef for over 20 years from our friends Amber and Al. They work hard to provide families with healthy, tasty beef.
We have been purchasing all of our beef for… 6, 8 years not sure. We exclusively buy all of our beef once a year, for the entire year, from here. Wouldn’t do it any differently. We will continue to purchase all beef from Amber and Al. Significant increase to our standard of living.
Beef beef...best people!!! I just dont know what else to say....
Always the highest quality beef at every meal. Our beef is delivered personally by Amber and Al with love!!
Good people!! Great meat!!
We purchased 1/8 share of beef and we’re so impressed with the packaging and labeling and the steaks were outstanding on our 4th of July celebration! We will definitely be purchasing shares again!!
I received my order of 1/4 beef delivered to California perfectly frozen. The beef sticks are definitely a favorite. Can't wait to dig in. Thanks again Amber for making sure everything is perfect.
These beef sticks are delicious! Everyone in our household loves them, we share them with our neighbors, and friends, too. Now we need you all to add a subscribe and save option.

We Mostly Eat Steak and Hamburger
