Heavy-Duty Cattle Guard

Heavy-Duty Cattle Guard LIVESTOCK Handling 20-3-9 "It's built to handle the heaviest trucks," says Richard Keeney, Cuyler, N.Y., about his home-built cattle guard. He built the 8 by 18-ft. guard using heavy-guage 6-in. channel iron cross pieces standing on edge. Then he laid pieces of 3-in. angle iron on top crosswise on 10-in. centers. "I set it on railroad ties to keep it off the ground and graded the road surface up to the edge of it. It's very heavy-built," says Keeney. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Richard Keeney, 7189 W.
