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.
Welcome to my corner of the wild — where feathers, fur, and a whole lot of sass collide! On this blog, I share hilarious and fascinating facts about the birds and animals I bring to life through my watercolor art. From the side-eye of a great horned owl to the surprising antics of squirrels and foxes, each post pairs humor with a love of wildlife. Plus, if you fall in love with any of these quirky creatures, you’ll find links to my related products on Zazzle — including prints, stickers, cards,
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'.
