Bauman NH Farming

Bauman NH Farming raises Katahdin sheep in Waynesburg, OH, part of Greene County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. Since 2010, Cynthia Bauman has focused on registry-compliant flocks and annual health testing for parasites and common ovine conditions. The sheep graze on rotational pastures and receive gentle handling to support early socialization and temperament development. Shelters are cleaned daily and off-grid solar electric fencing protects pasture perimeters.

The farm’s methods blend traditional family farming with careful record keeping to maintain strong maternal traits and easy care lambs. Lambs stay with their mothers until weaning to encourage robust growth and social bonds. Breeding priorities include parasite resistance and fleece characteristics that suit small homesteads and larger operations. Visitors often note the calm demeanor of the flock and the clear communication about care practices. Cynthia contributes to local agricultural fairs and shares breeding insights with youth in nearby 4-H chapters.
