Farmers and farmers-hands may regularly cut off the dags to keep their sheep clean. |
|
Although it is hard to play favourites with such a loveable bunch of dags, I must confess to preferring mum Janelle to the rest. |
|
So if Ivy isn't quick enough with the shearing I'll just have to tell her to rattle her dags! |
|
The fleece is so cut that the wool around the base of the legs and backside runs in a continuous line, from which it is easy to strip the dags, the stains and the prickles. |
|
The development of dags first requires some faeces to adhere to wool, but this is only the initial step in accumulation. |

Daglocks, clotted locks hanging in dags or jags at a sheep's tail. |
