Pihitia Station Visit

Just 2 days ago we went down to Pihitia Station. Tristin's dad works at Pihitia Station. It was a whole school trip, but because of corona virus the moana syndicite went down there first. We took the bus and it took about half an hour to arive. When we did finaly arive the people (including Tristin's dad) where wating there. While we where wating we saw Evan (he is a butcher) get a sheep out of the freezer. The sheep was already dead and Toby (Tristin's dad) said he killed the sheep a week ago.

Altogether there were 7 station's to see. First our class got halved into two groups. The first stop for my group was the weighing and the farm dog's. First we had to get the sheeps into the passege way wich was quite easy. Then the sheep would get shoved into the cage and if they were heavy enough they would keep going and if they were not heavy enough they would go into a diffrent padock.

The last stop that we went to was the milking. We didn't go into the milking shed and I don't even know if there is one. At the milking stop each group got a glass with cream in it. We had to shake the glass and then it would become cream. After that it would become butter. The person there said that only one group before has maneged to make butter.
