There were two types of mineral feeders with the Lewis Oilers. The one I have no bull could dump on his back because it looks like a little house built onto a side arm of the oiler.
A mineral shed is literally an open front shed on pipe skids with space for two or more of the large feed tubs built into it under the roof part ( think of a large two seater outhouse concept and you will have an idea of what they look like ).
I think you can likely find plans for them on AB Ag's website or visit a farm trade show and there will likely be one on display that you can take a pattern from. They work in areas where you want to move the minerals to the cattle and need a good substantial feeder that won't get knocked over or blown over. The ones I have seen are made by DarTar Manufacturing and they would withstand any bulls scratching or rubbing etc.
