ABSTRACT:
A machine for breaking the foretoes of sheep and lambs carried on a moving kill chain. It has a fork presenting seriatim the open end of the tines to receive the forefeet of sheep at the knuckles, a portion of the tines spaced to closely confine and engage the knuckles and a more widely spaced portion of the tines to release the feet as the sheep is advanced by the killing chain. The machine provides means for supporting and rotating the tines of the fork around its longitudinal axis to break the toes while the sheep's feet are engaged. When the toes are broken, the fork rotates back to the original position.
