Honest thoughts on this? I actually do this because back home I live on a farm (very fun actually).

If you grew up on a farm, I'd bet you have far more eye catching things than "sheep herding" to put on.
One of the most interesting candidates I ever interviewed worked at a zoo part time during school.
if you are passionate about it than sure put it.
Put down that you're a farmer in your spare time. More impressive and expressive. "Manage ### acre farm and livestock etc..."
