Mineral Feeder with Back Rub
(insecticide rubber, mineral feeder, back rub)

The combination mineral feeder with a built on back rub accomplishes two goals at one time. It allows for a portable and singular location to place a fly control apparatus and a mineral feeder. By placing the back rub next to the source of minerals, cattle will more likely learn to utilize the equipment. The mineral feeder/back rub can be designed to be on skids, wheels or placed in a permanent location. A portable design allows the stockman to have one feeder that is easily moved from pasture to pasture. Oftentimes, the cattle will learn to associate movement of the feeder to going to a new pasture with better forage and will follow you as it is moved into place.
