Answer to Question 1

Cradling is an excellent restraint technique for foals. To cradle a foal, place one arm around
the foal's chest and the other around the rump. Cradle foal in arms. If the foal is very
exuberant, the handler can also grasp the base of the tail.

Answer to Question 2

Both chutes and stocks are used to restrain cattle. The chute has the added advantage of
adjustable (squeezable) sides. Although very useful, stocks are not meant for processing large
numbers of animals and should never be used with fractious cattle. Some stocks are used for
horses as well as cattle. When a stock is used for cattle restraint, it has a head catch; stocks
used for horse restraint do not have a head catch. A horse would never be placed in a chute.
