Dam: KRK 622
DOB: February 17th 2009
Registered Katahdin

We're so thankful to have Johann as part of our flock. He gave us a beautiful set of 2010 lambs we are now getting ready to breed. It will be very exciting to see how his daughters do in the line of duty.

He's an imposing, long, well-muscled ram who, at heart, is really just a cuddle-bug. Johann has made many friends over the past two years and will be greatly missed in the 2011 show ring. He took Reserve Grand Champion as a Jr. Ram lamb in 2009 at the Oregon State Fair and continued to hold is ground as yearling in several fairs in 2010. Now it's time to buckle down and see what influence he can give our home flock.

~Judah Ben-Hur~

Sire: AV 0129
Dam: VJ 516
DOB: January 19th 2010
Registered Katahdin
Triplet - QQ

Pictured as a yearling.

Ben-Hur has plenty to offer. He's so long and strait, with excellent weight gains and production lines behind him. His mom raised him and his two brothers weaning 300 lbs of lamb!

He did well as a fall ram lamb in 2010 and we look forward to taking him along to a few 2011 fairs.

He gave us some stunning ram lambs this year and a ewe lamb that will be staying at Drowsy Waters. We look forward to his future here!

~King Louis the XVI~

Sire: Unrecorded
Dam: Unrecorded
DOB: Spring 2002
Twin - RR

Pictured at 9 years old.

Louis has had a dramatic influence on our flock for the past nine years. He consistently gives us beautiful, growthy, spotted lambs crossed with a wide variety of bloodlines. We're very proud to have him here and to work with so many of his gorgeous daughters.

We purchased Louis from Nepoyln Iskby when he was selling out of Katahdins. We were not able to receive full paperwork, but we've decided to keep using him in our flock and record his offspring. He's just too good to put into retirement.

Future Rams

We'll be keeping several ram lambs through the fall for breeding. We'll select one to stay with our flock, but the rest will be for sale around November. We'll have two dairy/Katahdin cross rams available in October.

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."
