Identify the primary difference between a chute and a stock

What will be an ideal response?


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.
