Keep in mind that "cattle guards" are a set of metal bars placed in the ground at pasture gates to keep cows from crossing. Bovines will not step on them, perhaps out of fear of getting their hooves stuck in between the bars.

protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered Secretary of INTERIOR, Bruce Babbitt, to fire half of the guards immediately. Before Babbitt could respond, and presumably straighten him out, Colorado`s Pat Schroeder intervened with a request that before any were fired, they be given six months of retraining.
