January News From The Ranch

This is what we keep reminding ourselves as we watch what seems to be a never ending rain this week. Thankfully we had some really lovely days earlier in the month to make up for it. For now though it just adds to what has been a very frustrating month for all of us anxiously awaiting the arrival of the “the truck”. We share in your frustration with the situation but it seems that this time we have experienced every issue from first not having enough Teff on hand so they held the whole order for over 3 weeks, finally released the order only to have no trucks available due to holidays, weather etc. As of today 28 Dec, it looks like they have a truck lined up and it will be here on or about the 4th of January. There is a small chance that a truck could be here as early as Saturday but I am not holding my breath.

We appreciate your patience with all of the delays. We share in your frustration. No one wants to wait 2 months for anything. We will adjust our delivery days to accommodate as many people as possible as quick as possible. That said, if you want to adjust your existing order please let me know and if you are placing an order for January please get it too me as soon as possible. I am already planning the deliveries and existing orders will take precedence.

We will not deliver in wet weather so take that into account as well. If you don’t want to have to wait you can always come by the ranch and pick up what you need to hold you over in the event weather is not cooperative. If you have any questions or need something special please give us a call.

It is that time of year to make sure you have renewed memberships with your non-profit organizations (i.e. NASTR, AERC, High Desert Horsemen, etc). There are several local non-profit organizations that depend on strong membership to remain active. These local groups provide trail preservation and maintenance, animal rescue, youth and veteran support among other services. Three R’s Ranch is proud to support these groups that support our community by offering current members a 10% discount on their orders. Just show us proof of 2023 membership and get your discount all year.

DELIVERY DAYS

Weather is possibly going to impact our schedule a bit this month as well as other factors mentioned previously so we are going to make a few adjustments. Please take a look at the schedule to make sure you have your orders in. We will not deliver during wet weather. It is just too hard on some of the feeds to be exposed to moisture if you don’t have the ability to open the bags and let them breath a bit upon delivery. Putting the schedule out a few months ahead still seems to be working well, so we will continue to post three months of deliveries at a time. With fuel prices as high as they are we will be trying to be as efficient as possible in our delivery days. We are making fewer additional trips to town as well so our ability to fit in a last minute order is a little limited so may not happen as fast as you have experienced in the past. Special trips to town for that “I have to have it or else…” order will have a $10 delivery fee. If you need to, you can always stop by and pick up anything you might need, just give us a call ahead of time to schedule. The sooner you get your orders in the better we are able to plan, but not later than 5pm the night before your scheduled delivery day. With winter will come weather than can impact our deliveries. If we have to make changes we will let you know. It is always a good idea to plan ahead and have enough to carry your through an extra week if the weather keeps us from delivering as planned. Thank you
