A painted cattle guard.
Cattle guards should definitely keep goats in. There have been instances where these cattle guards have been used and been successful.
False. Check out snopes.com

No. This is an urban myth surrounding a play of words, if you will, and the ignorance of city folk versus the rural folk. To those who do not know what "cattle guards" are, they assume they are people who guard cattle for a living. Instead, they are really iron bars welded together to form a platform for vehicles to drive over while at the same time providing a barrier for cattle to prevent them from crossing.

No, this did not happen. It's a very old (perhaps 20 years old) joke that became an urban legend. It is based on the story of some northern politician who allegedly didn't know that cattle guards are things (rails) not people. The story began to circulate around the time of President Clinton; the story claimed he did not know that cattle guards were things and when he heard there were so many of them, he wanted to fire them; but since Mr. Clinton was from rural Arkansas, the chances are he knew that they are used in order to prevent cattle from running away. More recently, the story was applied to Barack Obama, but since it's a myth, Mr. Obama did not fire anyone, and he does know what cattle guards are.

None and all. Beef cattle were (and are) the main type or class of cattle that cowboys handle and work with on a daily basis. Horses were the animals they used to herd and work with such large, horned ungulates.
