Does anyone have any recommendations or DIY ideas for free access cattle mineral feeders/dispensers!? (housed cattle)
Having a bit of a mental block 🙈 Cattle are indoors so something that bolts on a wall/rsj or hangs on feed barrier (top height). Cattle fed in ad lib hoppers/ haylage bunkers so not ideal place to place the minerals.
Thanks for any ideas 👍👍

The old fire clay troughs/sinks are my indoor feeder of choice. Out side the best I have Seen although I haven’t got any yet are the big round tubs that are designed not to be tipped over, they have a rubber flap lid fixed from the centre so cows can lift it with nose and get in to mins without them getting wet.
