Can you tell me the name for it?

In NL we call it a wildrooster, which roughly translates to "wild animal grate," but more literally could be interpreted as "venison toaster."

Also, its name then focuses on being for wild animals instead of cattle.

NINJA EDIT: Looks like veerooster is an accepted other name, which specifically translates to cattle grid. I guess which one you use depends on whether you're trying to control sheep or cows vs. boars or deer.

Ferist in Norwegian, at least. Translates roughly to "Cattle grid/rack"

In Geany Texas Gates are something completely different.
