There are many many different options to choose from, and it all is based on what materials you have on hand. A lot of salt and mineral boxes can be made from old tires, rain barrels, old tire rims, scrap metal or wood, the list is endless. The most important things to remember are that you need to have a big-enough hole in the box for a cow or bull to be able to stick their head into to get at the salt, it needs to be high enough off the ground so that it keeps any moisture from getting in, but not too high that the cattle cannot reach it with much effort. You need to have a roof of some sort that will keep the mineral dry and shed rain, and the box built solidly enough so that it can withstand a lot of abuse from cows jockeying to be the first ones to get at the mineral mix.

As far as what to build and how to build it, please check out the related links below to look at the various options available to build a salt mineral box for your cattle.
