[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 789984, member: 2653"] We had an oil company drill a gas well that crossed our property, and when the well was dry they left a 12" thick limestone road and a couple of really heavy built pipe cattle guards. They originally set the cattle guards on three 12" by 12" by 16' treated beams. I moved one and only put the cattle guard on the ground. Result is that almost all of my calves will walk right across it (they step into the cracks and their hooves only go down about 8 or 10") The cows won't try to cross. I had to mount a gate - I know but it's only funny if it's not your calves getting out. I'll be lifting the cattle guard soon and putting the beams back. [/QUOTE]
