Cattle Guard, what's a cattle guard?

I don't know if there is any legitimacy in
this but I could not resist passing it on. Given what I have witnessed over the last four or five years, this is very easy for me to believe.

Try again. "Someone" fumble fingered something.
I hate to post a retraction on this one but it can not rightly be credited to the Administration.

Well If I saw one of those guards and I was a cattle I'd be eying that up as a cattle trap and going no where near it. I don't know how guarded I'd feel.

The cattle react very much the same.

This took 30 seconds to de-bunk.

I don't know what everyone is debunking but the cattle guards are authentic.
The pit thet go over is usually dug deep enough that the animal (sheep, cow, hog, whatever) leg will not touch bottom and spacing is wide enough to allow the foot to go through.
Animals will not cross these.
Now the rest of the story may or may not be true.

Dusty, I'd heard the same thing about previous administrations. It is funny, though!
