When it's not your first cattle guard

Oh it's Nothing like that over here. Our entire village (population 300 people) has as much cattle as two or maybe tree farming operations in US (it depends form place to place). With us It's mostly rural area small households mostly based on little milk production.

"Bigger" "farmers" are considered to have around 100 cows, more or less than that (they are based as meat producers) and this cattle basically lives freely in the fileds close to woods grazing grass all year except in winter. We mostly grown Simmental/Swiss Fleckvieh or hereford cattle and for milk production some even have holstein-frizijsko cattle (couldn't find English term) . There are also a lot of horses, even more than cows (but that is entirely different story our government created and messed up majorly).

It's little bit hard to explain emagine more laid back, less industrialized eastern European farming than sofisticated industrialized farming like in US or what we see in movies/documentarys about it. Considering our region, customs and wildlife I saw those guards as big mistake if ever implemented in my country, but really they aren't even necessary here... different land, urban planing etc.
