As I was going through the last of the pictures of my camping trip I found these and wondered how many people use this method of preventing cattle from leaving. Is it used in your area? We call it a cattle guard or a Texas gate. Apparently cattle will not cross because they cannot stand on it as their hooves slip right through. There were a number of them throughout the journey, some without the ridges to drive on and unless you slow to a crawl the vibration will shake your teeth loose.
Its normally used across drives or where they have open range so they don't cross the road. See it more in western states, but a few around here.
ReplyDeleteWe have those guards down here in Georgia. My sister and brother-in-law use them to contain their horses. Every time I have to walk over one I fear I'm going to slip though!:)
ReplyDeleteI have seen these,but not in our area.

Yes, we have plenty of them around here - think they're usually called 'cattle grids'.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why it wont let you view my photo's... please email me if you have the time, I would like to ask a couple of questions to see if I can find out why.
