Welcome to the TXbar Grassfed Beef website, where we invite you to step into the heart and soul of our family’s rich heritage in cattle ranching. For over five generations, our family has been dedicated to the art of raising cattle and providing the finest quality grassfed beef.
We are thrilled to share our story with you, highlighting the deep-rooted traditions that have shaped our journey.
A Legacy Carved in Time
It all started with Papa Jim Martinez, who grew up alongside his father, Papa Tom, learning the ropes of the trade. Papa Jim got the JM Slash brand on the left rib and it became a symbol of the commitment to exceptional quality and practices.
Continuing this proud legacy is Tyler Martinez, Jim’s son, with over 60 years of ranching experience. Tyler’s career as a commodities broker, ranch real estate broker, and commercial rancher led him to discover the TX Bar brand—a symbol that resonated deeply with him. In creating his own brand, Tyler wanted something that went on cleanly, did not blotch and was easily noticed from a distance, combining the “T” for Tyler with the clean and recognizable “X” and bar.
Continuing the Tradition
Then there’s Travis Martinez (me), who has been ranching alongside his father for 40 years. His Rocking TM brand, with the quarter circle underneath resembling a smiley face, represents his initials and his genuine love for what he does.
Expanding our family circle, Josh Gruber, our brother-in-law, embarked on his own journey a decade ago, establishing the 21 Bar brand. This brand signifies a special day—the birth of his son, Brooks. Today, Beau, Josh’s son, proudly carries Papa Jim’s brand, keeping it alive and honoring our family tradition.
