Show me your loose mineral feeder...

[JusticeFamilyFarm]

Hello! I'd like to see or hear about how you keep your loose mineral free choice for your goats. I have not found a way that works for me yet, but I've only tried a few things. Right now I'm adding it a little daily to their feed, but I'd prefer to have it out free choice and have been told it's the best way to do it. Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas!

I have a small plastic feeder that I have mounted to the wall. It has two compartments that hold about half a cup each.

I fill these with my loose mineral. I do like the smaller feeders for minerals because I can re fresh it more often.

Yep, I use the same thing.

We use that black one with the 2 compartments. I also use those for their feed right now.

We just use a little black plastic bucket that is tied to the fence. We are just getting started, so we aren't too fancy yet.

this is a popular one to make. I haven't tried it, but I hear it works well.
