Cattle creep

Cattle are big animals that provide us with milk, meat, and leather. They are usually kept in a field with a fence around it to keep them safe and in one place, but sometimes they need to move from one field to another.

When cows need to move from one field to another, they have to go through a gate in the fence. But sometimes, the gate is too small or too narrow for the cows to walk through, especially if they are pregnant or have horns.

That's where a cattle creep comes in. A cattle creep is like a tunnel that goes under the fence instead of over it. It's usually a small passage made of concrete, wood or metal that is big enough for cows to move through without getting stuck.

The creepy tunnel is designed to allow the cows to go from one field to another without having to go through the regular gate. This helps avoid any unwanted accidents that could happen if the cows got stuck in the gate, and it also makes it easier for the farmers to herd them from one field to another.

So, think of the cattle creep as a magical tunnel that cows use to transport themselves from one field to another without any trouble.
