This sucks to walk over… Guys, I think I’m a cow.
These are everywhere on Shetland. I laughed at it like “Haha! Look at these stupid sheep! Can’t cross that small part?”
Then I walked across one myself. I was humbled and reminded that I’m not that much more intelligent than a sheep.
We have them everywhere rural, even across regional highways, here in Norway. Hell, there’s even one across the road to my local airport.
It’s an effective way of keeping cattle and sheep in an area even if said area is intersected by a road.
Can you tell me the name for it?
Ferist in Norwegian, at least. Translates roughly to “Cattle grid/rack”
We call them Canadian passes
In Canada we call them Texas gates.
In Geany Texas Gates are something completely different.
This is, what we call a Texas Gate
I really like that. In Texas we call them cattle guards.
Cattle grid in ireland
Same in Australia
We call them cattle guards here in Oregon
Found it, thank you!
Oh, that’s what those were for? Never knew
Guess I’m fucked now
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
