Anyone want to share?

I've drove the local feed stores bonkers...no copper boluses for calves.


SO, would anyone like to sell me 4? I have 3 - 50-60 lb goats and 1 - 75 lb.

I thought of ordering, but they only come in bottles of 25, and by the time I divided them - I'd have enough for 50 years!

So who would like to share?

Sure, send me your snail mail address via private message. I'll send you some and some of the empty gel caps, too.

I have been wondering where to get them. Our feed store has stuff for cows, but not goats. Is there something special I need to divide/resize them? I don't even know what they look like

Although I know Rose and would trust her....I could not imgaine purchasing something for my goats from someone you do not know.

Miss Menagerie until you have read saanendoah.com and have the answers to those questions you don't know about, why are you going to bolus? Please read the articles all the way through including any links that still work. Then if you want to bolus, do so. Vicki

Yep you need a gram scale you can get at walmart and a bolus gun and some gel caps.Then weight your goats and believe me make more than waht you need to as they can spit them out and in the most awful area too. I do my own and the thing is I have cattle also so mine get used...its 1 gram is for 22 lbs.the small caps hold enough for 44 lbs. The bolus's are huge and I just sit and do mine. I got my caps at walmart also.

Anybody that wants some, I have a new bottle of Copasure. I will sell them for $1 apiece plus 4.80 flat rate shipping. You are on your for weighing/downsizing them.

Paypal is better for me.

PM me with your details and I will give you my e-mail address.
