WI court settles $5 million beef jerky quarrel

Mike Paulus |

A feud betwixt a famous Wisconsin father and his son played out in the District 3 Court of Appeals this week – set against the dynamic backdrop of the high steaks world of global beef jerky sales. According to that lovely Associated Press, Jack Link (yes, that Jack Link) was sued by his son Jay for being unfairly ousted from the family business in 2005. Jay won punitive damages to the tune of $5 million. We’re assuming Jay will also get all the Teriyaki Beef Steak Nuggets he can eat for the rest of his life. Man, it’s like John Grisham wrote this.

By the way, the tagline for the Jack Link's company is “Beef Jerky & Protein Snacks.” Something about that ain’t right.
