Ronnie Mingua began experimenting with making beef jerky back in the 1990s. He shared his efforts with neighbors and friends, soon realizing he had come up with something different and superior to all other beef jerkies on the market. From these humble beginnings, Mingua Beef Jerky got its start.
Today, the Mingua Beef Jerky Company still prides itself on using its old-fashioned, all-natural recipes which offer outstanding products to customers across the nation. The recipes are a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation.
Migua Beef Jerky uses Enviro-Pac CHU-2000 equipment to cook its meat to USDA required levels for both moist or dry operation. Mingua Beef Jerky wants you to become one of its many satisfied customers by sampling its quality hand sliced, all natural beef jerky. We know you’ll love it and come back for more, again and again.
Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, are never chopped or formed like other brands, making our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein Packed Performer, Class of ’23, RT, Demartae “Bulldozer” Johnson from Lexington, Kentucky’s Tates Creek High School, wouldn’t it?
Around the magazine for years we have referred to Demartae Johnson as either “The Bulldozer” or just “Dozer.” We love him. What’s not to love.
He’s a 6’3,” 260-pound right tackle who clips off the 40-yard dash in 5.35-seconds. He comes off the line of scrimmage like he has been shot out of a gun.
His punch at the point of contact is devastating. At impact, the player he blocks often looks like an animal getting run over by a truck out on the interstate.
Dozer is dominating playing against the best competition Kentucky High School football has to offer in the 6A classification. We don’t know where the Dozer will play in college but it won’t take long for this feature and his linked game film to rustle him up some recruiting interest.
This is a top-flight performer in Kentucky’s ’23 graduating class. His is a position of need hard to find when out combing for talent around the Bluegrass.

We believe it entirely appropriate to feature “The Bulldozer” this week in this article. We also found his efforts deserving of nourishment.
Mingua Beef Jerky agreed this young man could use a bolt of protein. They volunteered to send him some straight away.
Join us next week as we honor another worthy player. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from all the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind; just like Tates Creek High School’s Demartae Johnson.
This is HB Lyon reporting for Kentucky Prep Gridiron reminding you that WE’RE JUST CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE IT!
