We have a wooden fence around the house and yard and we used to have a cattle guard on the driveway but on at least 4 seperate instances we would wake up to find half the herd inside the fence line eating my dad's plants.

Also we called them cow catchers too but I'm from Wisconsin originally so that may be why different verbiage for different areas.

Cody I've seen those advertised too, but this is what I think of when cattle guard is mentioned. http://gobobpipe.com/cattleGuards.htm http://www.livestockshed.com/c-77-cattle-guards.aspx?gclid=CO6P2_Suj8MCFUMLMgodmEYAlQ https://www.livestockshed.com/c-114-powder-river-cattle-guards.aspx http://www.farmandranchdepot.com/farm-equipment/Cattle-Guards-Grids/ Fishing has never been about the fish....

PO had a line haul truck/trailer/dozer and he ran in and out of the property that were heavy enough to bend the rails.

The pond will benefit, but with the way that it's set up, if you need more lime in it, just have the truck back up to the pond and let 'er rip. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

The water was seriously starting to go over the dam and some large holes appeared which might have been from beavers or nutria. A few bucket fulls of dirt in the holes and cleaning out the spillway appear to have fixed the problem.....for now. I know I have a beaver in the area and I need to find him.
