I use a loose sheep mineral, one that has no copper in it. Yes it is
outrageously expensive, but my sheep don't eat much of it very fast
so it lasts a long time (a bag every year or so). In contrast, when I
used a mineral block, they ate it like candy because of the molasses
that glued everything together to form the block.

I also keep a salt block available.
