Default RE: Mineral Licks

1 part di-calcium phosphate, this is a dairy feed additive bought at feed stores, comes in 50lb bag @ around 11.00
2 parts trace mineral salt, the red and loose kind without medications
comes in 50lb bags @ around 5.00
1 part stock salt,ice cream salt, comes in 50lb bag @ around 3.00

Directions
use a 3lb coffee can or similar can to measure with.
mix together well but not until ready to use
dig or tear a circle in the gound 36in wide and about 6in deep
mix mineral with the soil

Maintenance
replenish in 6 mo. with fresh supply and then every year after that.

This should do it for ya. If you are going to do alot you will need two bags of the trace minerial. This works well for me and they just seem to tear it up. I have been using it for 10 years.
