    OAKLEY, IDAHO, April 30, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Don Pickett has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Pickett is renowned as the president of Pickett Ranch & Sheep Co. as well as an attorney specializing in agricultural law. The aforementioned ranch is a fifth-generation family business started in 1882 by his great grandfather, producing such crops as potatoes, wheat, barley, alfalfa, corn, and also lamb and range-fed beef on parcels of land in three states. The company also owns and operates a cattle feedlot where it finishes up to 13,000 head of cattle on an annual basis. Initially obtaining a Bachelor of Science in agricultural economics from Brigham Young University, Mr. Pickett earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Idaho in 1985.

When asked about the key to his business success, he spoke about strong family ties and a commitment to constant learning. He credits the ranch's longevity to slow growth over generations and continues to operate the business with his two brothers, who hold degrees in business and economics. Without their respective educational backgrounds, Mr. Pickett believes that Pickett Ranch & Sheep Co. would not be where it is today.

Participating on the board of directors of three water companies, Mr. Pickett has also served as chair of the Idaho State Animal Damage Control Board and the Idaho State Sheep and Goat Health Board. In 2017, he authored "Lessons of Nature, from a Modern-Day Shepherd," a wide-ranging collection of spiritually rich meditations regarding the often ignored relationship between humans and God's creations. As an active member of his faith, he has served in various leadership roles at his church. Mr. Pickett has been honored as a 2019 Lawyer of Distinction, and was inducted into the Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame in 2020.
