I should do that instead of an electric gate on my property.
 
I have heard the just the slats are enough to keep the cattle in. Some times they just paint the lines and works.
 
Cool design, but doesn't the grate keep the cattle from crossing? Their hooves would go through the openings so they won't walk on them.
 
I would not call that a redneck cattle gate. I would title it an Archimedian Cattle Gate. Very ingenious use of lever arms! After all, Archimedes said he could move the world with a long enough lever arm.

A true redneck cattle gate is one that is opened by the force of your beat up pickup trucks bumper and then closed, as shown at http://www.joe-ks.com/archives_jun2012/CowGate.jpg
