[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 873881, member: 17328"] Cheapest and quickest way I know of to make a mineral feeder is to do so from a plastic 55 gal barrel. Cut an opening on the side of the barrel directly below one of the top filler holes. Opening size about 1/4 down from top, 1/4-1/3 up from bottom, and about 1/4-1/3 of the circumference in width. Run a rope through the filler hole on top opposite the side opening, tie off a small piece of pipe on the inside so the rope won't pull back out, and hang from a tree limb near the water. Will hold about 200-300 pounds. The opening will stay tilted down and kept dry. May have to take up some rope as it stretches. Takes about 15 min to make. Could not agree more!!!! -- and not just this cow, the entire herd. The nutritionist should be able to guide you in the proper quality mineral for your area and forage. [/QUOTE]
