Advertising campaign

Soon after the site launched, Blue Ox Jerky introduced Saul Bunyan as one of the lesser known brothers of lumberjack legend Paul Bunyan. The fictional story explains the brands name became as wager between Saul and the Jürke brothers for a blue ox. During this wager an accidental fire in a barn yard with the mixture of beef and spices created the first piece of Blue Ox Jerky.
