Cattaneo Bros., which has been producing handcrafted meat snacks for 75 years, is announcing its acquisition of Bob Tallman’s Authentic Cowboy Beef Jerky, formerly Bobby T’s Beef Jerky. The lineup, which includes Sweet Smoked, Peppered Hickory, Sagrado Hatch Chile, and Brown Sugar BBQ flavors, will now be sold by Cattaneo Bros. under the Bob Tallman name.
A fifth-generation rancher and Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame announcer, Tallman started his jerky business in 2018 to showcase the traditional flavors of his home state of Texas. Producing jerky also gave him the opportunity to support future generations through partnerships with two prominent youth organizations. Texas 4-H sells Bob Tallman’s Jerky for their Jerky Jackpot fundraising campaign, and over 2,000 chapters of Future Farmers of America incorporate his jerky into their fundraising efforts.
