The process of docking the tails of livestock. In particular, the tails of sheep grow so long that they drag on the ground, and this is done around 10 to 14 days after birth because the tails of female sheep become soiled with urine and feces and are inconvenient for mating, and in the case of dogs, it is done to improve their appearance. Methods include cutting the tail with a hot iron or a knife, or tying it with a rubber band.
