It depends on your ground.

Rock salt - big chunks of salt, usually red in colour but can be white or grey - are generally useful for sheep over the summer.  Otherwise ask your nearby farmers and sheepkeepers what is needed on your ground, or your local agri store (although they will of course sell you something even if nothing is really needed ;))
