Why this block
Why Cattle Owners Pick the Dome Salt Lick
- Rounded dome shapeA rounded block with the rope fitted, ready to hang on a fence post, gate or barn wall.
- Same pure saltIt's the same natural Himalayan rock salt as all our blocks, at 8–9 lb, with nothing added.
- Clean and off the groundHung on a rope, it stays out of mud and manure, unlike a block left on the ground.
- Fits your mineral programUse it where minerals are mixed into feed, or in pens and barns. If your herd already eats a loose mineral that contains salt, ask your nutritionist whether extra salt is needed.
A salt lick covers salt (sodium and chloride), not every mineral. Most animals also need a mineral made for their species. Ask your vet if you're unsure.

Lifespan
How Long Does the Dome Salt Lick Last for Cattle?
An 8–9 lb dome salt lick used by one cow lasts about three months. Shared by five cows, it lasts about two to three weeks, and by ten cows, about nine days. Hot weather, lush spring grass, rain and how hard your cattle lick all change this.
| Who's using it | Rough time it lasts (hung under cover) |
|---|---|
| 1 cow | About 3 months |
| 3 cows | About 4 weeks |
| 5 cows | About 2–3 weeks |
| 10 cows | About 9 days |
| 3–4 horses sharing a field | Several weeks |
Rough estimates. Weather, rain, diet and how hard your animals lick all change how long a block lasts.
Placement & care
How to Hang Your Dome Salt Lick
-
Hang it where cattle rest or drink
Cattle take most of their salt in the evening and at night, so near water or a loafing area works best.
-
Use a sturdy support
At 8–9 lb, tie it to a solid fence post, gate or barn wall at a cow's head height. Hang it lower for calves.
-
Spread out more than one
Bossy cows guard the salt. Hang two or more blocks apart so shy cattle get a turn.
-
Keep it under cover
A roof or run-in shed keeps rain off and makes the block last much longer.
-
Check it every few days
With a group, check often and swap the block when it gets thin. Don't let cattle go without salt.
Always keep fresh, clean water nearby. Salt is only a problem for animals when water is short or frozen.

Good to know
Dome Salt Lick FAQs
Is the dome salt lick good for cattle?
Yes. It's the salt lick we suggest for cattle: 8–9 lb of natural Himalayan rock salt in a rounded dome shape, with a rope fitted. It covers their daily salt need and has nothing added. It isn't a complete mineral, so most herds also need a cattle mineral.
Can I use this salt block with a cattle mineral?
Yes, in many setups. It works well when minerals are mixed into feed, a TMR or protein cake, or for cattle in pens and barns. If your herd eats a free-choice loose mineral that already contains salt, extra salt may make them skip the mineral, so ask your nutritionist.
Will the dome salt lick hold up outdoors?
It's dense rock salt and holds up better than pressed blocks, but rain still slowly dissolves any salt. It lasts far longer under a roof, in a run-in shed or in a barn. In winter, keep it sheltered and make sure water isn't frozen.
What's the difference between the dome block and the 8–9 lb block?
Both are 8–9 lb of the same natural Himalayan rock salt with a rope fitted and nothing added. The dome block has a rounded shape and is the one we suggest for cattle. The standard 8–9 lb block is the one we suggest for horses in stalls.
Do you sell the dome block in bulk for ranches?
Yes. Packs of 20 and 50 bring the price down to $10.24 and $9.31 a block. For more than 50 blocks, request a quote on our Bulk Order page or call (800) 759-7253.
