Going to Pihitia Station!

On the bus on the way to Pihitia Station I watched Tay do the Weekly Round-up video. Once we arrived at Pihitia Station it IMMEDIATELY smelled bad but I got used to it. They split us into groups and off we went. The 1st station I went to was the butchering station. Louie stepped away from the station since he was vegetarian. They showed us where the lamb chops came from and they also told us that we can make sausages with a certain part.

Fast forward a bit (Other stations were pretty boring) and were at cattle station. We weighed them to see if they were big enough to go to the processing plant. Sheep over 55kg go to the processing plant. Others don't. After that we went to go see the sheep and Angus's mom whistled commands to the dogs and they chased the sheep around. Then we went back and Angus's dad showed us a drone and also chased some sheep.

Then we went to go watch them shear some sheep. I got to drag the sheep out when we arrived and I was also in the newspaper a day later. Then after they sheared the sheep they explained facts about wool and ect. Then it was morning tea and we ate our food. Then it was the last station.

 

This station was the pest station.   

They showed us some native birds and traps. There was this LOUD trap the literally almost popped your eardrums! Then he played some bird sounds and we had to guess. But he kept on showing the phone without knowing so some people looked! Once we left we ate the rest of our food and left.
