Agriculture Excursion
On Tuesday 14 of August, I went to the Department of Agriculture’s farm on an excursion. It was entirely hands on. We watched a sheep dog rounding sheep up, then we did it as two groups of 9 separately. The second group of which I wasn’t in lost about 17 sheep as they ran off and through the fence but remained on the property. After they rounded the left over ones up into a pen we clipped their nails. After that we learnt to select individual cows from a group and move them into a race. Once we did that we gave oral dredged them. We had lunch. We had a look at the robotic dairy then we went to the traditional dairy where we got to milk the cows. I put the milking machines on the udders and then disinfected them with the spray once the machines were done. Then it was home time.
