cattle prod
Rancher's electric stick
A cattle prod is a handheld device that delivers an electric shock to move livestock.
Ranchers use them to get stubborn cattle moving through chutes or onto trucks.
The term extends to anything that motivates reluctant action: The deadline served as a cattle prod to get the team moving.
