	Crutching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crutching refers to the removal of wool from around the tail and between the rear legs of a sheep.
		However, most crutching is carried out at the start of the fly season (which depends on local climatic conditions) and may be needed at intervals of 6-8 weeks in high fly risk conditions.
		Crutching is different to mulesing (tail skin removal), although they are closely related in that mulesed sheep require much less crutching.

	Mulesing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crutching is the mechanical removal of wool around the tail, anus (and vagina in ewes) and also down the inside of the hocks in breeds of sheep with woolly points where this is necessary.
		Crutching has to be repeated at regular intervals as the wool grows continuously.
		Mules discovered that, after being struck many times, one of his sheep was losing the wrinkles round her hind end due to close crutching when his hand slipped with the shears, removing skin.

	January/February 2005 ISSUE OF SHEEP MAGAZINE
		"Crutching," means the removal of wool around the ewe's rear end and belly in preparation for breeding season and/or lambing season.
		The two main considerations in crutching before lambing are gentle handling of the pregnant ewe, and making a quick and complete job of it.
		Crutching not only helps lambs survive-especially those all-important multiple births-it helps cut down on labor a little later in the season by easing the work of shearing.
