[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 624457, member: 968"] Obviously you haven't been on these boards very long. Mineral/salt blocks are a waste of your money & the cows time. They would need to stand there & lick 24/7 to get even a slight amount of what they need. Loose mineral is the only way they can get what they NEED. A cheap mineral feeder is a 50 gallon drum hung from a tree or pole. Search "Dun's mineral feeder" and you should get a pic & description. Cut a hole in the side big enough for their heads, leaving at least 10" lip on bottom. Put a swival eye bolt on top - towards the back, so the hole is tipped down when bucket is hung. We usually put a piece of wood on the inside for the eye bolt so you don't tear out the top. [/QUOTE]
