Bovatec or Safe-Guard medicated blocks should be placed out in the pasture to encourage more grazing in that pasture and less traffic at the water trough. Most people like to put out salt blocks close to a water source, but in a pasture environment, to encourage livestock to graze a certain area that is some distance from their favorite watering area, a salt block should be placed in that vicinity.
You can purchase a medicated salt block at your local farm and ranch supply store. Tack and feed stores will also sell them.
