T Bar J Ranch Trail Sticks – All-Natural Montana Beef Sticks
All-Natural Beef Sticks Made From Our Ranch-Raised Beef
🔥 NEW FLAVORS + LIMITED RUN BUNDLES JUST RELEASED
This week we brought two new flavors into Granite Health in Billings to see what people thought.
Jalapeño held its own…
But Ghost Pepper was the one people kept coming back for.
We didn’t make a huge batch — this first run was just a test.
If you want to try them, now’s the time.
NEW THIS WEEK
We added two new flavors and two simple bundle options so you can try them without overthinking it.
Jalapeño (NEW) – clean heat, no cheese
Ghost Pepper (NEW) – the one everyone at the gym kept coming back forAnd if you don’t want to choose just one:
Trail Trio (Variety Pack)– Original (Summer), Teriyaki, Jalapeño Cheese
Heat Pack (Spicy Variety)-Jalapeño Cheese, Jalapeño, Ghost PepperStart bold or keep it mild — your call.
The same ranch beef we trust for our ground beef — just turned into a snack you can take anywhere.
Simple, filling protein you can keep on hand for busy days, travel, and time outside.
Our T Bar J Ranch Trail Sticks — often called beef sticks — are made from the same all-natural beef we raise here on our Montana ranch for our bulk beef shares.
When our cattle are processed, the premium steaks like Ribeye, New York, and Tenderloin are set aside. The remaining cuts — round, roasts, and pieces that would normally become ground beef — are ground and turned into these beef sticks.
Like a hamburger ready to go.
Just beef from our ranch.
Ships the same week you order — no freezer or dry ice required.

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.

After winning our monthly giveaway, she wrote a heartfelt (and hilarious) review of her T Bar J experience, from ground beef to beef sticks to honey.
It’s personal, honest, and a great read.

The Truck Smelled Amazing Yesterday
Get the RecipeWe made a run to the butcher yesterday and brought home a fresh batch of ranch beef sticks. If you’ve ever ridden in the pickup for that trip, you know the smell — smoky, savory, and hard to ignore.
Let customers speak for us
from 71 reviewsVery tasty beef sticks, quick delivery and over the top customer service!! I will be a return customer.
These meat sticks have a delicious flavor. We are enjoying every bite and they are going fast. We got excellent customer service. We will definitely be repeat customers.
These are such a hit with our members! Thank you so much to T Bar J for such a great product!
I hope I can do this meat justice when I cook it. It looks beautiful and always arrives frozen and excellently packaged. Cooking some up tomorrow and my mouth is already watering! Amber provides the best and friendliest customer service!
Wonderful flavor excellent service I highly recommend T bar J beef 😁 from Montana
We received our Montana steak box all the way from Montana to Texas last week! Everything arrived frozen with the most beautiful steaks I’ve ever seen! The kind of steak you spend $60 or more at a fine restaurant! T Bar J included recipes, honey (from the ranch!) and a variety of beef sticks!
The customer service is excellent! Amber stayed in touch from the moment we placed our order all the way through delivery! You won’t believe how many steaks you get in a Montana Steak box!
We can’t wait for Texas to thaw out so we can enjoy T Bar J beef right off the grill!
We are placing another order next month for a 1/8 side! I won’t shop anywhere else for beef and neither should you!
Bought these for a special Montana made, useable gift. I messed up the delivery address and this business was over the top in covering my mistake and getting it to the corrected address. Thank you so much!!! We will be a repeat customer!!!
I was thinking of spreading the goodness around for Christmas but made me an early gift. So good tender delicious you just can’t get better steak.
That simple you guys are simply AWESOME!!!; No matter what! Doing a great job!!! Jack and Diana Daniels
For starters, the customer service you get is absolutely top-notch, they make you feel like a VIP.
The meat arrives fast, expertly packaged and frozen. It tastes fantastic, I describe it as eating ground ribeye, the meat to fat ratio is perfect. I will definitely be buying again!
Liked 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.
