For anyone watching this thinking it's clever and great- it's incredibly dangerous for the cow. Cattle can easily get their feet stuck between the pipes and getting them out is really ugly. Like... torch-cut pipes burning away flesh ugly. If you see this, shoo the cow back in.

A cow that regularly attempts to cross cattle guards is first to sale or slaughter.

Edit: And now I'm that guy on the internet that I hate, who saw an amusing animal gif and immediately went into buzzkill mode :-/

I've never had an adult stuck, but I have had to pull out a few calves. They're curious and when your skin is made of leather and your weigh more than an adult human, you can get pretty brazen. I've only helped with beef cattle though, I've noticed dairy operations universally don't use cattle guards (for a multitude of reasons)

Wow, what an interesting looking and smart cow.

Animals are pretty clever, usually exactly when you need them not to be.

That guard should probably be dug out deeper.

So, instead of being a cattle trap it is a trap for modern cars?
