Cattle guards are designed to keep livestock contained and safe on designated property. The design consists of a series of parallel bars placed over a road or railroad track, allowing the vehicles or trains to pass freely. The gaps between the bars are wide enough that cattle perceive it as a dangerous obstacle. They instinctively avoid stepping onto the guard because their hooves could slip through or get stuck. This cattle guard is based on a mid-century design, commonly found all-across the Western United States, with some still in use today.
