SHEPHERDING
LO GANXO, L’EINA DE TRIAR
“...per anar bé, tenive que passar lo dit gros per dintre, aixins segur qui passe la pota d’una auvella, ...per afermar-li lo bastó d’avellaner, ***s’amplena de molla de pa mastegada****, res de claus, així no ferives mai l’auvella. Es pica ben fort a terra i ja no es tornarà a moure mai més! ja només queda fer una creueta a la bola del cap per que quedi protegit dels llamps...”
I don't see the sense of bread crumbs in a shepherd's hook......or am I missing somerthing?

glue
I suspect that what is being described here involves a makeshift and non-binding, temporary glue. We used to make a similar sticky substance in scouts using chewed bread. But I still don't see exactly what the shepherd did with the glue, if I am right here.

chewed bread used as a type of glue
I agree with Berni that he made a kind of glue by chewing the bread up. I suppose this releases the sticky gluten in the bread. Some white bread will do that without chewing, mind you! Anyway, this shepherd says he did this to strengthen (fill up any cracks and holes I imagine) his hazel switch (crook). If he had tried to reinforce it with nails etc. this would have risked hurting the sheep.
Here's a definition of 'aumplenar' from a Lleidità dictionary:
