Best Answer

A cow guard, or cattle guard, is a gateless entry through a fence, used in ranches to allow vehicles to cross without having to get out to open/close the gate. There is a ditch at the entrance that is laid over with pipe and spaced where cattle will not walk over it while providing access to vehicles. The cattle guard, also called a Texas gate, is more of an optical ilusion for the cattle because they have poor depth perception and think that the spaces between the bars is a bottomless pit that they cannot get out of. Also, the spaces between the bars look wide enough that they cannot walk easily over, so that also deters them from crossing.
