Pihitia station

On tuesday  we went to Pihitia station to learn about meat, technology, woll, pests, dairy products and herding. We split into groups and then my group went to shepherding first .
 
It was fun herding the sheep we were watching the sheep get weighed  to so they could get butchered . We went outside the grass was so green but the sheep had rekt it because there was so many holes in the dirt.We went from the shepherding to technology we didn't have long at the technology but it was cool because i learned something new . It must be very expensive because they use drones that connect to a tv. Angus is dad explains what vehicles they use on the farm. The next thing was sheering. I like sheering the most because the woll was so soft and some reason it was oily but it felt nice it was really soft . People shoore the sheep . Then it was pests on the farm. The person that told us some of the traps they use. He showed us how to set them and what they do to pests except sticks .Next it was the meet and the we were cutting up an entire lamb. The vegetarians and people went out side because the didn't want to see it . The last thing was dairy products . There was a cow that you could milk. it felt weird touching the uders .

We had a bit of food from our lunch boxes then we left.
