English term

crutching

English to French Tech/Engineering Livestock / Animal Husbandry sheep handling system
With the sheep held inverted a full crutch can be performed without any back-bending at all. [...] The head and tail rests raise each end of the sheep to allow easy wigging and crutching without obstruction. A flexible drive cable driving the handpiece is maneuverable and is the preferred equipment for crutching. [...] When crutching, 2-3 sheep per minute can be processed by an experienced operator and helper. The handpiece is not turned off between sheep.
