You don’t. Every year we lose some to vehicle collisions. In areas where there is multiple incidents the county will generally fence off a couple of miles so they don’t get sued for not protecting the people who are using the highways.
For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado . The Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately!
Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten President Obama out on the matter, Vice-President Joe Biden, intervened with a request that ... before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining for Arizona border guards. 'Times are hard', said Joe Biden, 'it's only fair to the cattle guards and their families!'
Yankee lady, here.
Years ago, we took a road trip that wandered through some of that open range land, either on the way or on the way back from Colorado. Lonely highway on a summer night. Needed to relieve our bladders and change drivers. Stopped. And there, in the lights of our RV was a herd of the biggest white (or maybe just white-faced) cattle with long curved horns we had ever seen, bedded down for the night. We did not exit the vehicle. We switched drivers and slowly, quietly, left the area. We may have been Yankees, but we were not suicidal. They did look mean
