[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1568088, member: 968"] Red bull - I can't find anything either. Dun actually got the pattern from me. I "stole" the pattern from Hudson Pines Farm. Just take a 50 gallon drum, cut maybe an 18" by 24" hole at least 8" off the bottom (or more depending on how much mineral you want to put out at one time) (big enough for their heads). Drill a hole in top towards the BACK side of center of the top, so that the bucket hangs with the hole side tipped down a little. By tipping it a little, water won't run down into hole and the wind will blow the bucket pushing the hole away so rain doesn't get in. Use a swivel hook (very important). Try to make sure to hang it far enough away from trunk of tree, so that an aggressive cow or bull can't "trap" it against the tree. My cattle would kill that "feed station" in a heart beat. [/QUOTE]
