I see that you’re interested in homeschooling! Have you heard about the amazing things homeschoolers can do with CLEP tests? I've taken 17 tests so far: 66 credit hours for about $1,500! I just started a blog that can show you how to get college credit quickly and affordably with this fantastic resource.

Marianne said...: Hi Bethany,
Looks like you have been in lambing mode for awhile. Ours should start this coming week. I'd be interested in hearing about your prolapse situation when you have a chance. Here's the email...

Drowsy Waters

This blog is dedicated to the happenings at Drowsy Waters.

Although there are other animals around the farm, Katahdin Hair Sheep are our main focus. We have been working with these amazing sheep since 1999 and have developed a passion and vision for the breed.

This blog hold stories, updates, and ramblings of the primary flock caretaker on current events in the sheep world to small incidents in the barn.

Feel free to ask questions, share your experiences, or contact us about our stock.

Katahdin Hair Sheep

An amazing, easy care sheep that will produce for you! They shed their hair, grow quickly, are hardy, very prolific, have mild temperaments, and are resistant to disease and parasites.

We started raising these sheep in 1999 and although our flock split a couple years ago when my sister got married, we have been able to build up our stock and expand.

We are OPP and CL tested.

We have been at a couple fairs and done very well. In 2011 we will be at Washington County, Clark County and Oregon State this year. If your there, feel free to stop by!

John 10:11-16

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep have I which are not of this fold: them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
