O.K. so this is about as silly a question as you will ever get on here but here it is.
How do you all put your salt blocks out on pasture? I tried a lot of ways to put them out so they don't set on the ground or in water - post, wooden box, etc. but nothing seemed to work well until I spied a used 15" tire on a rim on the junk pile one day a couple of years ago.
So I tossed it on the ground with the deep side of the dish up and put the salt block in it. Now the rain water drains out through the slots and bolt holes and the tire keeps the cows back enough that they don't get mud and crap into it with their hooves.
It's deep enough that they can't push the block out when they are licking it. Works like a charm and they clean it up to the last chip!
