Pihitia Station

This week we went to Pihitia Station.  At Pihitia Station we got to do lots of stuff including shearing a sheep, watching farm dogs chase sheep and much more.  First, we got to watch a cow get milked while we were doing this we shook a jar of cream to make butter.  We also got to have a little bit of whipped cream.  Our next station was watching meat getting cut. When the butcher cut the meat he got each part of the meat into a pile, there was ribs, chops and all that other yum stuff.  

The 3rd station was the station where we got to weigh sheep.  We all had to sneak around the side of the fence to lure the sheep into the weighing machine.  After that, we weighed the sheep, if the sheep was too light we would put them in a different barn but if they were a good weight they went into another one and were sent off to the butcher.

After the sheep weighing, we went to check out the farm gadgets we got to watch a drone being flown it was pretty cool.  Next, we went to the sheep shearing where they were shearing sheep. The guy there chose Max to shear the sheep and Anroux to pull out the sheep. After the sheep shearing, we ate some food then went to the pest control station.  In there we found out how they kill wild cats and about stoats rabbits and possums.
