Sheep station

A station usually also includes a homestead, adjacent sheds, windmills, dams, silos and in many cases a landing strip available for use by the Royal Flying Doctor Service and other light aircraft.

Other activities include ram buying and classing the sheep in order to determine the inferior types that are to be culled.

Crops and pastures are often also grown to provide additional feed for the sheep, especially those that will be raised and sold as prime lambs.

[5] Sheep breeders may also need to undertake predatory animal control if crows, dingos or foxes are likely to be a problem.

It is 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) across Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown, 40 minutes steaming time on the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship.
