Station (New Zealand agriculture)
Okay kiddo, let's talk about a station in New Zealand. A station is a big area of land where farmers and ranchers can take care of animals like cows and sheep. It's kind of like a big farm with lots of animals and lots of space.
In New Zealand, people use a special word for these stations because they have a lot of sheep there. They call them sheep stations! The farmers take care of the sheep by giving them food, water and a safe place to sleep.
These stations can be really big, sometimes bigger than a whole city! They're so big that sometimes the farmers have to ride horses, motorbikes or even helicopters to get around and check on all the animals.
So stations are like really big farms in New Zealand where farmers take care of lots of sheep and cows. They're a big part of the country's agriculture, which means they help provide food for people all around the world.
