Crutching refers to the removal of wool from around the tail and between the rear legs of a sheep for hygiene purposes. It can also refer to removing wool from the heads of sheep (wigging or eye-wooling).
It is different to the process of mulesing, (invented by Australian John Mules in the 20s) whereby a sheep's breech is scarified to prevent wool regrowth.
