Cattlemen's
Champion's Choice

OUR HERITAGE

With over 30 years of expertise, CATTLEMEN'S® is the #1 BBQ sauce used by restaurants. In addition, CATTLEMEN'S® has been the secret ingredient in the winning recipes of every Grand Champion at the World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest at Memphis in May* for the past 14 years. Great Ingredients = Great Taste.

CATTLEMEN'S® offers four distinct flavors:

Made with the finest ingredients:

Tomato Paste — CATTLEMEN'S® Barbecue Sauces use only rich, dense tomato paste with 26% tomato solids, unlike other brands that are made with tomato puree, which is watered down and contains as little as 8% tomato solids.

Quality Ingredients — Unlike most other brands, CATTLEMEN'S® contains no starches or fillers for naturally thick barbecue sauce that seals in the flavor and resists skinning over.

Team Bio

We started at the 2nd annual BBQ contest. Friends and family of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Armstrong and Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Schully. Our team was then known as The Saturday Night Group.

In 1986, as the second generation started to take over, we merged with the Hobie Hogs (another team made up of friends and family members) and became known as Swine & Dine. Jerry Crain has been our head cook since that time.

For the past several years our team has consisted of about 80 team members, all friends and family of the original team members. This year we have people traveling in from New Orleans, Austin, Charlotte, Dayton, Atlanta, Montgomery, Nashville, and Indianapolis.

Swine & Dine’s 80 members are divided up into committees:

  • Cooking
  • Set-Up
  • Building

  • Team Serving

  • Security
  • Beer/Bartenders
  • Jello Shooters

All groups are chaired by a team member and made up of team members. The team Captain is Mike Armstrong.
