My Heart Be Happy Posts: 9159 Location: Arkansas	rodeomom3 - 2018-02-08 7:53 AM Thanks everyone, you can tell from my question we know NOTHING about cows but my husband has always wanted them so here we go. I bought Bluebonnet Tech -Master, our area is low in copper and this was recommended. They are out on 100 acres, round bale, minerals and we plan to cube during calving and breeding, we do not expect to make money, lol. And gotta have some pictures ya know?!!!!

We made our mineral feeders like the one below. Our horses use them. Save tons of money as most of the items are either give aways (barrel and semi tire from the tire store) or scrap (wood planks on the bottom). Only items we purchased was the hardware. Rain proof and portable. (th.jpg) Attachments ---------------- th.jpg (16KB - 196 downloads)

Rain proof and portable. I like the idea, but our cows would tromp that into the ground. We use the Wind/Rain formul and it isn't affected by weather. Not even when snow piles on top of it.

We made 10 of the barrel feeders to put out and so far haven't had a single issue. We also use them in the bull pens. They spin and roll a bit (lag bolts allow the barrel to move around in the tire). We needed a project for a high school kid and these fit the bill. :)
