Dagness is a terrible word. It is a combination of everything evil in this world. For example lies, smoke, gall, ugly teeth, darkness, greedy, venereal disease, war, death and so on.
The word dagness can be compared to the devil but it is much worse.

The process of removing dags from the rear of sheep. Similar to crutching, but more restricted in area sheared.
Sheep accumulate faeces on wool around their backsides, and the wool and the associated faeces need to be removed, usually in late spring or early summer after weaning so that there is a lower risk of fly strike, and so that the rams can find their target with the ewes during mating or tupping.
Dags accumulate as hard accumulations around the sheeps' backside if early summer is dry, and if dagging is done, these can provide sheep farmers with some small early season income.
If dags dry out, they rattle when sheep run, this gives rise to the NZ and Aust expression rattle your dags.
In NZ where sheep rule (joke) dagging is usually done by shearers. The mixed sheep poo and wool produced by dagging is processed to make garden fertiliser and some low grade wool fibre.

1. A turd hanging off the rear end of a sheep (caught in the fleece).
2. Someone who is daggy, i.e. uncool. This can be meant insultingly or affectionately. (Much like that other well-known Australianism, "you old bastard".) On the face of it, it's an insult, but there are ways in which it is seen as admirable to be a dag – having one's own style, not caring for public opinion, being outrageous, being a source of friendly amusement, being original.

3. Comedian John Clarke's character on New Zealand and later Australian radio, Fred Dagg, so named for obvious reasons.

An Australian slang term.
A dag is technically the matted wool on a sheeps tail, but in typical useage throughout Australia, it refers to people who don't have a neat, tidy or cultured appearance. It can also refer to a person who tends to be quite informal.
It is not necessarily a derogatory term in modern useage.
