If it feeds, fixes, or keeps your animals sound, we’ve got it—and we’ll get you loaded fast. Quick heads-up for Utah ranch families juggling chores and school drop-offs, plus a simple checklist and one-click product picks.

This Week in Utah — quick heads-up

Back to school: Salt Lake City School District first day is Tue, Aug 19; Weber School District draft shows Wed, Aug 20. Expect bus traffic and earlier mornings.
Statewide fire rules: Stage 2 restrictions across Utah State Parks; Stage 1 on Uinta-Wasatch-Cache NF. Use gas stoves on cleared ground; skip charcoal. Check your unit before you light, weld, or mow.
Hunting overlap: General archery buck deer runs Aug 16–Sept 12 (units vary). Expect more trucks at gates and trailheads.
Fuel: Utah’s average gas price hovers ~$3.36; SLC and Ogden are tracking near $3.34. Batch errands or have us stage one pallet.

10-minute checklist (print this)

Water: Double-check flow/clean troughs midday; lightning plan when storms build.
Cattle: Keep stress low during heat; tubs/salt where they loaf.
Horses: Ride early/late; electrolytes & free-choice salt handy.
Fire-smart: No open flame unless your area explicitly allows it; extinguishers on every rig.
