.Our cattle are raised on pasture their entire lives and finished on a 14% protein pellet that’s specially formulated to help them grow strong and develop rich marbling.

This forage-based pellet is certified Non-Hormone Treated Feed, and it’s designed to deliver the exceptional flavor and tenderness our beef is known for.

We do not feed grain like corn or barley, and we don’t use silage or feedlot rations.

Our beef is 100% all-natural — no antibiotics, no growth hormones, and no implants. Every animal is raised right here on our ranch, from birth to delivery, and handled with care every single day.

Yes they are. NHTC means: Non Hormone Treated Cattle. That also enables our cattle to be shipped to other countries such as Europe. Cattle implanted do not meet those requirements. Some calves are implanted up to 3 times in their lives. Once as a calf at branding, when they are weaned off their mother, and then again when they go to a finishing feedlot.

Absolutely! Our animals remain under our care their entire lives. Spending their days with "friends and family" around, eating grass at will and exercising, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, living a low-stress natural life. We have been BQA certified for over 30 years.

BQA is short for Beef Quality Assurance. Because we have a long-standing commitment of caring for our animals and serving families with the safest, highest-quality beef possible, we have gone through this training to meet the standards set by the U.S. Beef Industry. For over 30 years we have been learning the best techniques to manage cattle to take care of them and our environment. Being BQA Certified is an important designation for T Bar J Ranch.

We Cross-breed Black Angus with Gelbvieh. Angus is a breed noted for tenderness and marbling. Gelbvieh is a breed that came from Germany. It is a versatile breed noted for muscle, longevity and it's maternal traits. We have great- grandmothers still producing wonderful calves. They are docile and calm and raise a chunk of a calf. We also benefit from "hybrid vigor" by crossbreeding, which means extra growth by the animals themselves without hormones.

1/8 = 50 lbs, 1/4 = 100 lbs,

We are located in South-Central Montana. West of Billings and north-east of Yellowstone Park in Stillwater County.

We harvest our beef in 2 seasons. June/July and then in the fall, September/November. When our animals are ready. We start taking deposits November 1 for the Summer beef shares.

Fall beef shares we start taking deposits May 1.

Our pork shares are available in August/September. We take deposits on pork whole and 1/2 shares starting April 1.

You bet it is. The same high quality meat that our beef is. The pork also has an organic cure for the hams steaks and bacon, no nitrates here!

We have bees on our ranch that our "bee guy" takes care of. The bees pollinate our alfalfa fields and we also have 2 pollinator plots planted. In the winter the bees go to California, in the spring they are in Washington state pollinating the fruit trees. They come here in late May and stay until the first frost, or the snow flies. Whichever comes first. We get a share of the honey, and we in turn share it with our customers, so they can share in the goodness.

Absolutely not! They are not approved for cattle at this point. The pigs are ranch-raised animals outside and in the fresh air. They are far healthier than pigs that are confined.
