dagging

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.

bird dogging

To hound or pursue something or someone with a usually malicious intent.

Derived from the use of a bird dog to hunt game.

Apparently mistaken by millennials as a slang hybrid of 'bird' being female, and 'dogging' being the act of cuckolding or sharing of one's wife willingly or unwillingly, whilst obviously overlooking the actual normal every day meaning of the term to the point it irritated me to make a bloody account on here to set things straight. So upvote this definition so these low life tweens can at least use the term correctly.
"You've been bird dogging this town for a while now, they wouldn't mind a corpse of you." - Mal, Firefly
