Cattle Guards

Stop getting out of the truck. A properly built and properly installed cattle guard keeps livestock where they belong while your vehicles, guests, and deliveries roll straight through.

Custom & Prefab Cattle Guards

We fabricate custom cattle guards sized to your exact approach, and we supply proven prefab units when a standard size fits. Either way, you get heavy steel construction built for years of stock trailers, feed trucks, and winter plowing.

Standard sizes for driveways and ranch roads, or custom widths for wide approaches and equipment
Heavy steel rail construction with load capacity to match your traffic — from pickups to loaded trucks
Wings and end plates to close the gap against fence lines
Boxed or flat-base designs for concrete footings or compacted bases
Pairs perfectly with an automated gate or ranch entrance archway

Your Choice

Buy It, or Have It Installed

Sales only: Handy with equipment? Buy a custom or prefab cattle guard from us and set it yourself. We’ll advise on excavation, footings, and drainage so it’s done right.

Full installation: Our crew handles excavation, base or footing work, setting, and finish grading — so the first time you drive over it, it’s done for good. A cattle guard is only as good as what it sits on, and a poorly set guard shifts, clangs, and sinks.

Setting, leveling, and approach grading
Cleanout access to keep the pit functional for the long haul

Common Questions

Cattle Guard Basics

Do they actually work?

Yes — cattle and most livestock won’t cross the open rails. For horses or wildlife concerns, we’ll talk through spacing and whether a gate is the better call for your situation.

What size do I need?

Width is driven by your road and the equipment that uses it. Stock trailers and haying equipment need more room than a pickup — we size the guard to your widest regular traffic.

Gate, guard, or both?

Many customers combine a cattle guard with an automated gate or archway entrance: the guard handles livestock, the gate handles security. We build all of it, so it matches.
