J Bar B Foods made industry-wide headlines when its Weimar, Texas, processing plant became the first in the United States to feature a co-extrusion sausage-production system nearly a decade ago.
Texas native Earl Campbell stands as one of the best running backs to have ever played the game of football, featuring a rare combination of size, strength and speed that not many runners have ever displayed on the field. Campbell charged his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by punishing defenders at the point of attack or sprinting by them with blazing speed (or both) with great success throughout the course of his college and pro career.
Meanwhile, in Waelder, Texas, J Bar B Foods was honing its skills and developing a top-notch reputation as a private-label-centric sausage processor serving a regional audience and growing at a steady clip over five-plus decades.
