[QUOTE="TerraceRidge, post: 1077946, member: 21599"] I have never owned cattle before, but I am interested in purchasing a few Angus heifers soon to start a cow/calf operation. However, I have a question about cattle guards. I would like to run a fence across a dirt road, but it would be an aggravation to have to open and close two gates to pass through the area. I think cattle guards would work, but I don't want to spend a tremendous amount of money on them. I have considered using concrete blocks (turned so that the holes are pointed up) in a pit 10 feet wide, 5 feet across, and the depth of the blocks. Additionally, I have thought about running 5 or 6 railroad cross ties a few inches apart in a pit the depth of the cross ties. I think the concrete blocks are more promising, but I am not sure. Does anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
