Why buyers stock lick salt

These are practical reasons farms and stables use licks. They are not health or veterinary claims; animal owners should follow their vet's advice.

  • Natural sodium and trace minerals

    Rock salt is mostly sodium chloride with small natural amounts of other minerals. Grazing and working animals lose sodium in sweat and need a salt source.

  • Animals take what they want

    A lick is offered free choice, so horses, cattle, sheep, goats, camels and deer can lick at their own pace.

  • Lasts longer than loose salt

    A solid block wears down slowly and is harder to spill, so less ends up trampled into the ground.

  • Stands up to weather

    Dense rock salt copes with sun and dry heat better than bagged loose salt. Keep it out of standing rain.

  • Less waste, cleaner feeding

    On a rope the lick hangs off the ground, away from mud and droppings, and is easy to check and replace.

  • Simple to hang

    Tie it in a stable, field shelter or pen. One drilled hole, one jute rope, no holder needed.
