On Tuesday the whole of our syndicate went to Tristan's farm to see how farms work and what animals do all day.
Our first station we went to was weighing the sheep.Weighing the sheep is actually really fun. They have this cool automatic scale that they put the sheep on if the sheep weigh the right amount they will go to the killing shed and be shot. If they weigh less they go back into the field and have to eat more grass to get more fat.
We also learnt what type of stuff cows can make with their milk. Our teacher for that station gave us this jar that had cream in it and we had to pass it around to see if the group could make butter our group actually did make butter.
Our group learnt lots of different types of wool. My friend Alivia got to shear the sheep and we saw the sheep when it had no wool and it looked so cute even though it had a few bleeding cuts. Apparently you can make carpets out of wool and I mean very fluffy wool also they made a surfboard made out of wool!
