Year 10 Agriculture Down On The Farm

The Year 10 Ag Class took a trip down to Moeraki Downs Sheep Farm to get a taste of the rural lifestyle lending a helping hand to Nevelle, Kate Caldwell's dad, helping him out with some drafting, drenching and crutching.  Some got right out of their comfort zones having never been near a sheep before!  But some were eager to hook into it.  We also had a visit at Mrs Eatherley's farm looking at her donkeys, highland cattle, goats, chickens and alpacas.  She also told us about the limestone crusher.

We also had time for a paddle in the sea and a good feed of fish and chips, before heading into Weston to Jessica Fraser's farm, taking a look at the calves they only got a day before!

The Year 10 Ag class had a great day out and about exploring the rural lifestyle.  Thanks Mrs Eatherley, Nevelle Caldwell, Mr Fraser and Mr Farrell.
