Copper Bolusing?

I just mixed the copper bolus into small capsules for our dairy goats and pygmy goats as they certainly need it, so should I also give a 12.5 capsule to our 7 month old Jersey heifer? If the goats need it, I assume the heifer does as well.

The copasure is actually made for calves, but I have only known people to use it for goats.

Dont give a Jersey copper as it can be toxic to them.
Do a goggle search--- type in "copper toxcity in jersey cattle"
