See you in three days when we finally finish scrubbing fat off the ceiling

I've got a cart ordered to hold the meat lug. I'm hoping that helps!

, thanks for keeping our fingers safe and warm!

Some days, you get to do exactly what you set out to do when you started this business—and it feels good.

While $1,100 might not change much, it’s a whole lot better than getting a bill. This family ended up with more suet than they had freezer space for, and luckily, we got connected! Next time they harvest, that fat is coming straight to me.

Did I mention ranchers are my favorite people? There is something truly special about those who dedicate their lives to the land and their animals.

FADC Success Story – Vbar Montana

VBar Montana, a Bozeman-based company, renders high-quality, nutrient-rich beef tallow sourced from local Montana ranchers.

To support their DTC market growth, VBar leveraged the Montana Department of Agriculture’s Business Enhancement Program, working with Montana State University’s Product Development Lab to refine tallow processing operations and with the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center (MMEC) for equipment consultation for facility expansion and increased production capacity.

Where does the fat come from?

We get asked this a lot! The truth is, we’re lucky enough to work with a handful of amazing local ranches. Picking a favorite would be like picking a favorite child—ask me on any given day, and you’ll get a different answer!

While every operation has its own unique "secret sauce," they all share the same non-negotiables:

- Range Stewardship: Incredible care for the land.
- Resilience: Strengthening our local food chain.
- Animal Welfare: Going the extra mile for happy, healthy cattle.

Different ranches mean more choices for you, but the quality never wavers.

Fat. Heat. Salt. Water.

That’s the simple, centuries-old recipe for beef tallow. There is no reason to mess with something that’s already perfect.

At VBar Montana, our tallow will never be bleached, dyed, or put through a chemical deodorization process. No additives—ever.

We buy our suet directly from local producers. We can always tell you what the cows ate, where they ate it, and who was responsible for their wellbeing. Being located in Montana means we have access to some of the best fat available anywhere in the world.

We break it down and render it in small batches, following a process we’ve optimized specifically for skincare. The result? A beautiful ivory tallow with a mild scent, ready to be used in your whipped tallows and balms.
We make tallow you can be proud to use.

Thrilled to share that we made the front page of the Prairie Star! This feels like such a huge accomplishment, especially since we've been reading it since we were kids.
