What is the best covered salt feeder out there.? Am using lots of the bullmaster feeders,but the new ones are not very durable. I am a firm believer in a good mineral program. Thanks!

Take a plastic 55-gallon drum with all the lids on it and cut a hole in the side big enough for a cow to stick her head in. Hang it from a tree limb or a frame with some light chain. Then fill with mineral. Very little rain gets in and if you use a nimble limb it sort of acts like a spring so the cows don't bust the chain.
