[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 34368, member: 39"] I'm lazy so I cut and paste from a post I made last summer: [i]If you want to put more salt or mineral out, there are a thousand ways. Here’s one that’s cheap and easy-to-make. Get some of those plastic drums that are about 55 gallons, with the lids. Use a chainsaw to cut a wedge-shaped hole in the side, just wide enough for a cow to access. Cut it so that after the drum is stood up the bottom of the hole will be level and the top will angle upward. Stand the drum on end, throw in a sack of redi-mix and some water and stir it up. Place it so that the hole is away from the wind when it rains. It wont blow over and they won’t tear it up. [/i] Sometimes they will knock it over from rubbing on it. One of these days I'll try Dun's idea and hang one up. Many ways to skin the cat... Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
