You can order manna pro from Amazon. 8.00 shipping but better than having to buy 25 bags and you save on gas money..
You can also order the goldenblend mineral from Hoegger but I have no idea of the cost or shipping.

As far as copper bolusing, Lonestarchic has a thread with a link on how to that she did.

I had my local Ace Hardware store (in Storm Lake) order the Purina Goat Mineral for me. Bomgaars now carries Purina as well so they could probably order it for you too. I did switch to 3 - 1 Sweetlix block that the goats really like. It's soft enough that they can go through it pretty fast. I get the Sweetlix from Nelson's PreMix Vet Supply in Storm Lake.

But what is the amount of copper in the sweetlix block?

I had to get mineralized loose salt for my goats. I can only get Purina goat mineral here and my girls won't touch it. The mineralized salt has 480ppm of copper. Not enough but the best I can find around here. Try asking for mineralized salt with selenium instead of loose minerals. Some feed stores don't know what we are talking about.

You can order Copasure copper from Jeffers. Order the small one. Some people have luck putting the big capsules in a marshmallow and getting them to eat it that way. Try a marshmallow by itself first to make sure they like them.

It's only 1000 ppm of copper, but I found a 25 pound bag of loose mineral for making deer licks. That at least is a lot closer to what you need. Start trying hunting and outdoors stores, maybe?
