Steve & Carol Densmore

After growing up in farm country on opposite sides of the state, Steve and Carol continue their life long desire to farm. Steve has many years of livestock experience, having grown up on a dairy farm; and Carol grew up on a farm that raised pigs and chickens, boarded horses, and chased cattle from the adjacent farm.

Sheep were a natural choice because of Carol's insatiable love of fiber and fiber animals. And the wool complements the fiber Carol gets from a herd of alpacas she co-owns and from a couple of guard llamas that keep a watchful eye on things. Steve keeps busy farming oodles of acres of hay and maintaining his fleet of tractors.

The approach at Cross Wind Farm is to breed Bluefaced Leicester sheep for wool, conformation, and disposition. The sheep are bred for soundness and manageability, while producing a marketable fleece.
