Pihitia station

 Last Tuesday we went to Pihitia Station. First, we went to see a cow and how diary things are made with milk like cheese and whip cream and chocolate milk. I patted the cow without getting kicked in the face. The cow was very big. Sophie the person who was showing us the cow gave us a jar of something I am pretty sure it was cream. We had to shake it a lot to make it butter. We did not get to keep it in the end though.

Next we went to a shed where there was a butcher. He cut up a sheep. The meat looked yum some kids decided to go outside because they didn't want to see the meat get cut up. Maybe it was because they were vegetarians, maybe I am not sure. The man had a machine that is like a saw but it is automatic he used it to cut up some meat.

After that we went to weigh some sheep. There were a lot of big ones but some did not weigh as much. We also went outside to look at some sheep in a paddock there were two dogs one was called Cruz and the other one was Boy. Cruz did the barking at the sheep and Boy stared at them if they tried to escape. They had a call and a whistle and they would do their thing. After that we went inside to look at a drone fly around it had a camera and that was hooked up to a tv we saw a person tipped on a quad bike but then my friend who lives at the farm said that it was fake so that gave it away. It was fun.
