Living Farm Joy
We are raising our children on a farm because we want them to learn. I want them to learn life: knowing God through hard lessons, chores and play, joy and heartbreak. I want them to revel in the chorus of the birds singing at sunrise, learning that Morning brings new Mercy. I want them to ride their bikes on gravel roads, get up after skinned knees, and keep going. I want to see them cry over the joy of newborn lambs, and cry over the grief of taking one to slaughter, knowing that we have a responsibility before God to value life, even when its purpose is our food. I want them to see us shepherd with kindness and mercy, calling our sheep and goats by name and caring for them into old age. They will learn to groom their pony over and over again, and watch with exasperation as she rolls the moment she’s turned out; because some responsibilities in life require monotonous repetition, day in and day out, for those who may not realize all the effort we poured into the task. I want them to love the smell of freshly cut hay and newly turned soil, to haul water buckets and feed, and to work with determination until the chore is done, even with sweat rolling down their faces. I want to see the beaming smile of accomplishment when it’s done and hear the huffing and puffing “We did it!” of victory. I want them to climb on hay bales and ride their big wheels down hills. I want them to experience the excitement of gathering eggs of different colors and sizes, of naming hens, and watching chicks hatch. I want them to tenderly care for the one who’s being picked on and protect it from the rest of the flock until she can stand for herself. Because I want them to notice the outcasts in life’s journey and pursue them with love and compassion. I want them to climb trees and find birds’ nests, but learn to not take the tiny treasures because they are the life of the future. I want them to hold wild, baby bunnies that were rescued from the hay cutter. I want them to muck stalls, and pull weeds, and plant seeds. I want them to harvest the fruit of their labor and experience the joy of sharing it with others. I want them to pour their heart and soul into raising puppies for the benefit of someone else, and feel accomplishment and sorrow as they let them go. I want them to pick bouquets of wildflowers, hide them behind their backs and delight in giving them to their momma and their neighbors. They will know what it’s like to enjoy hayrides and bonfires with friends, and hard work as a family. I want them to wave at people who drive by, not because they know them, but because they are ready to welcome others into our life. I want them to remember the coffee pot always being in use and friends dropping in to talk and laugh and cry. I want them to play in the rain, build rafts for the stream and forts in the woods, and learn how to avoid poison ivy. I want them to bask in the peace of the evening sunset, the quietness of the ending of the day, and come home to family dinner and Bible reading and prayers. I want their bath water to be dirty and their sleep to be deep.
I want them to grow up on a farm because our Master Gardener and Shepherd teaches us while we work and live. I want them to know Farm Joy. And as they learn, I learn too.

I thought y’all would like to see this first flock exposure for CW Maisie. She’s out of Imported Rob, son of # # Cap, and Imported Kira, daughter of Irish National Dan.

Crosswood Duke is teaching Crosswood Denver the ropes at his new home.

02/24/2024

The pups are already 8 weeks old. Cove and Denver went to their new homes yesterday. The plans for Denver’s future include sheep and cattle dog training and potential trialing, while Cove’s will be in sport with his World level competing owners. It will be so wonderful to see them grow!

*****update*** Glen has a home now!

Will you help us find a home for Crosswood Glen? Please share this post!

Glen is 6 weeks old and out of Imported Rob and Imported Kira. He’s a loving and affectionate puppy with a touch of independence. He has excellent drive would be perfect in a working or sport home. Glen has been raised in our home with our our children and is very well socialized. Previous pups from Rob and Kira are excelling in herding and agility, as well as being loving companions.
Glen’s parents are health tested and sired by international and national herding champions. Both have a lovely working style and are very affectionate toward our family.

Please visit our website and contact us for more information and to see if YOU are the home Glen has been waiting for.

01/28/2024

He’s available! Imported Rob and Imported Kira male pup. Previous litters are excelling at working and sport. He’s the alpha of the litter, med-high drive, extremely affectionate and responsive. Email me at [email protected] with information about yourself in order to be considered as owners for this bright little pup.

The Princess of the litter 😍

2.5 weeks old 😍

To be fair to Maisie after posting the reel about her being a “Barbie” after her bath, here she is after arriving in Florida a few hours later. She’s got the natural ability and confidence that makes us all proud! Maisie is living with a sheep dog trainer now and will be Maddie’s sidekick. We expect her to be an excellent assistant in training future rookies, as well as being a top notch trial competitor.

Kira’s last pup, Maisie, went home yesterday- but not before she expressed her annoyance over being wet after her bath. 😂

Maisie is 7 weeks old and heading to a sheep dog training facility next week! She will be trained to be a trial dog and “trainer” to new pups.

The pups are 6 weeks old and got to try their first raw lamb bones from our farm. They clearly enjoyed themselves!

I’ve got videos of the pups, but for some reason they keep posting empty. I hope this will give a sweet, little sample of what’s to come.

Imported Kira’s pups are growing well! We are starting to see their eyelid seals loosening. Little eyes should be visible within a few days.

Imported RobxImported Kira pups are almost 1 week old! There is one male from this litter available.

The babes are a few days old now!

The Imported Kira and Imported Rob litter is here! Kira delivered between 2am and 7am and has 1 female and 5 male pups! Some are tri colored. The first pup in this video is the female. ❤️🐾

When your pregnancy cravings for ice give your secret away…. Surprise! Imported Kira is due to have Christmas pups out of Imported Rob!

Just a few moments from this morning with Imported Kira. I love her smooth, quiet, confident style that doesn’t startle the sheep. Plus, aren’t our surprise lambs cute? Lambs weren’t supposed to come until spring…. 🤔

Happy Wednesday from Chip! 😃

Congratulations to Crosswood Cait and Eric Swanson! Last week was Cait’s first competitive run, she Q’ed, and got a first place ribbon! Cait is an Imported RobxImported Kira pup.
