We are proud to introduce our wethers for the 2026 show season. Although our numbers are down, we feel that these wethers will compete anywhere, at any level.
As always, the purchase of a show prospect from Picket Fence Genetics includes our background from 20+ years in the showring, including Alanna's Showmanship training for your young showperson, if you are interested.
See the descriptions on each wether, and contact us with your questions or interest.

We think Lemonade is ready for his close up today! 🍋🥤📸

He is sired by I Am The Way from Kempker Livestock. His momma Everest (Daddy Issues X Catapult Dream) has been on our farm for a few years, and we sure are liking her contributions!

Big Fella is getting ready for his close up in a few weeks! 📷 📸

All our kids got washed and blowed yesterday and WOW are they growing! Alanna thinks Big Fella is going to be a pretty friendly show wether and couldn’t resist capturing this pic!!

🧬🔥 I Am The Way 🔥🧬

Here’s some raw and real snaps of some of this years kid crop. 📷📸 Each one of these wethers has more hair than you could dream! They will be easy keeping and are sure to turn some heads.

If you wanna see these kids unwrapped, stayed tuned.👀 Let us know if you are interested in seeing these guys up close.

Just a little way to show off what we have while they are still growing. Thanks Ellen, Hazel, and Kamden for helping us get these 3 kids set up to a T!

Miss Hattie thinks 'Big Fella' (I am the Way son) is super friendly and would make a great Christmas present for your showman.

Tonight was an amazing night. We enjoyed God's light show and then did a barn check to find our first set of AI goats arrived.

We are so proud of this gal.

Killer Harlee!! The Goat Gal!! She kills it in the ring every time! So proud of the progress she’s made since I met her!

Also shoutout to my friends a Picket Fence Genetics for raising this killer little doe! She’s been rocking it in the show ring all summer long!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to make this graphic for Harlee and can’t wait to see what she does next!!

Sometimes the backdrop moments look different. Watching Ellen grow in her confidence and work ethic all while developing a love for sheep has been a backdrop moment for us.
That smile says its a championship experience.
