[Jacob-list] grass vs. grain

  How do you put out salt/mineral mix for the rams? I have not found salt 
blocks for sheep in my area, only loose salt (the vet said loose salt 
was preferable anyway) and every container/setup I've tried has been a 
disaster. We use "tire swings" for the ewes and it works really well, 
but the rams can't get their horns into them. I have a bowl nailed to a 
stump, but its out in the rain, so that's not working. Trying to affix a 
container to the barn wall doesn't work (again, horns in the way). A 
bowl on the floor gets knocked over on a daily basis. So, what works?
Thanks,
