Morris Livestock is dedicated to providing quality show wethers with the genetics that perform in
the show ring.
Our goat program at Morris Livestock consists of
over 200 head of does that carry the top genetics in the
show wether industry. Morris Livestock and Willard Show
Goats of San Angelo, TX have had a successful embryo
program for the past 5 years. Morris Livestock and Joe
Raff of Blue Team Wethers have a business relationship that allows Morris
Livestock to offer a large selection of wethers sired by the best wether sires
in the business. We have also utilized our Bucks on some outside herds to increase our
numbers. Morris Livestock also markets wethers from some of the best herds in the business.
The ranch is located in South Texas on Hwy 181, 12 miles north of Beeville, halfway
