animals? I know there's going to be some people out ther who thing I must be really dumb but if you can help please do.

I am doing an animal care course and they asked me to describe how to safely carry out several restraint methods on farm animals but I don't know anything about these "methods" (not a country girl) and haven't been able to find out by searching the net.

The six methods they have given are; crush, stocks, head bale, cradle, leg rope, holding.

I know what a crush, a head bale and holding are (that last ones a bit of a dead give away ;-)) but know nothing about the others.

Help please!!
