you did an outstanding job on the cattle guard. back in the late '40s and early 50's on the farm in Tenn. we made then basically the same way, but we used logs and 2X4 instead of concrete and steel pipes. (Mississippi gulf coast)

Unfortunately, the company closed down and I'll never find one like it again. Every day was a different work order. Thanks for tip on how to build a cattle guard.

Cattle guards also work for horses, as long as the horse can see it. On dark, foggy nights they will walk by feel and easily cross one and wind up standing in the middle of a paved county road. A road where no one obeys the 45 mph speed limit, even on dark, foggy early mornings. A compact pickup doing 60 mph hitting a large horse sounds just like you would think it does.
