Mineral and salt blocks do best in one spot, and the herd learns where to look for them. This black feeder holds the block in place, and its wide base keeps the whole thing steady on the ground.
The floor has slots and holes that let water drain out instead of pooling under the block. The footprint is about 20 inches square and 6 inches tall, so it fits a corner of a pen or a spot by the water trough. It's built heavy duty as part of K&D's Platinum Line.

How to use it
Set the feeder on level ground in the pasture, pen or livestock area, then place a mineral or salt block inside. Keep it where the animals can reach it all day.
Good to know
Rinse the feeder out now and then to clear dirt and debris, and check the drain slots after heavy rain. A salt block in the same spot makes a simple daily routine.
Set one up before the grass slows down, so the block is ready when the herd comes looking.
