Raising Cattle
with a Purpose
JM Cattle’s branded beef is part of a 5th generation North Texas cattle operation. All cattle are conceived, born, and raised on Jarrod Montford’s operation. JM Cattle are grass fed and grain finished, and once ready they are sent to Tarleton State University for processing.
Jarrod walked away from college with the realization that the quickest way to give back to his Alma Mater was to feed steers for Tarleton’s Invitational Meats Judging Contest, thus allowing Tarleton students to process JM Cattle.
Occasionally, TSU needs a practice steer for the students to learn on. The goal for this steer is to be processed into ground beef, but prior to this, students can learn and explore the various wholesale and retail cuts. If by doing so, they cut into an expensive steak incorrectly, it now becomes an educational process, instead of a loss to the processor.
JM Beef is proud to say they raise cattle with a purpose beyond feeding the public.
“Our beef provides educational opportunities to the students at Tarleton State University and helps them grow in their passion for beef.”
– Jarrod Montford
