After celebrating all our small wins last week, this week it’s time for some BIG celebrations. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and celebrate with us.

 

Pig Parade Wrap-Up 

We wrapped up our annual Pig Parade at the county fair, and I wanted to say thank you.

 

Because of your support, every single pork share is spoken for. That means more clean, flavorful pork headed to more family tables, and more local 4-H kids supported in the process.

 

If you’re one of the lucky ones with a deposit down, I’ll be calling soon to finalize details so you can get that bacon in your freezer.

 

 Tomato season is nearly here, and nothing beats a BLT with homegrown tomatoes and our cottage bacon.

 

We’ll start taking deposits again next spring, so stay tuned into the Ranch Roundup for updates.

 

A Big Week for Family Around Here

We celebrated my dad’s 90th birthday with a ranch BBQ. He's not just one of our oldest customers, he's proof that a life full of clean beef and fresh air does a body good.

 

90 years strong, and still eating our beef every day.

 

Black Jack is Growing

It’s grandkid season around here, and I got to help one of our granddaughters feed Black Jack.

 

Five generations and counting at T Bar J.

 

Breeding Season is On

We sorted off our replacement heifers, and they’re now in a pasture with a “heifer bull”,  a bull that sires smaller calves, just right for first-time mamas.

 

The big bulls are now turned out with the cows, and we’re happy to report they made the mile-and-a-half walk without any “pasture drama.”

 

That means calving is officially on the calendar for May 4, 2026.

 

 New Flavor: Jalapeño Cheese Trail Sticks Are Here!

Al’s favorite flavor has arrived, and orders are already going out.

 

Same all-natural beef, same no-filler recipe, just with a little kick of jalapeño and creamy cheese to wake up your taste buds. Ready to try ’em? 

 

YES, Jalapeño Cheese Trail Sticks

 

Where’s Your T Bar J Today?

From Dad’s 90th BBQ shirt to my hat while feeding calves, and even boating on a lake in Maine,  our T Bar J gear is getting around!

 

Send us a photo of you in your T Bar J hat (or share it on Facebook or Instagram) and we might feature you in the next Ranch Roundup.

 

And who knows, if you make it to 90 like my dad, you’ll get a shirt just like his.

 

From ranch pastures to lake cruises, our T bar J gear gets around.

 

Thanks again for making this pork season such a success,  and for being part of the T Bar J family. 

 

It means the world to us that you care about where your food comes from and support a local ranching family.

 

Now, send us a picture,  and show us where your T Bar J is today!

 

P.S.
If you’ve enjoyed your beef, pork, or Trail Sticks this year, would you leave us a quick Google review?

 

It helps more folks find food they can trust,  and we love hearing what made our beef or pork special to you.

 

Bonus: Everyone who submits a review or photo in their T Bar J hat will be entered into a $25 Ranch Gift Card giveaway later this summer. You’ll be able to use it on anything, Trail Sticks, ground beef, a beef share, or save it for pork next year.

 

Once you leave your review, send us a screenshot or photo so we can count you in!
