On Tuesday we went to a farm called Pihitia. We learnt how to make cheese, get meat, kill pests, and all of the farm stuff they do. First, we went to making cheese, we put milk in a bottle and shook it until we made cream. and we saw a small dairy cow that we could milk. We learned that there are lots of dairy products like milk, cheese, ice cream and whipped cream. Then we went to the meat cutting. The butcher cut up lamb (but they did have an amazing life) he cut it up to eat, they taste amazing, especially chops on the barbecue!
We saw a sheep get shorn (my dad did it) it is just a haircut for them. Wool is made into carpets and, jerseys and lots more, there was even a surfboard made from wool. Next, we saw a drone flying because some farmers use them for mustering (like the farm we went to). After that, we went to go weigh sheep and the biggest sheep we weighed was 65kg. That was so much and the sheep that we weighed were called ewes (girl sheep). When we had been to all of the stations, we hopped on the bus we waved goodbye and left. Overall it was a pretty awesome day.
