Taking orders for copper bolus again

Started making them again, they are in 00 capsule size and one will treat a 50lb goat in moderate copper deficient areas and will work for barber pole worms at that dose.
75 cent each up to 50 capsules bulk rates can be achieved. I ship at my cost so that varies.

Recycled and new dispensers are available.

Good! You are a great asset Cannon Farms!

I lost your address; so would appreciate a PM because I want to order some more from you & we don't use credit cards. Will need to pay as we did before with personal check or money order, whichever way you prefer. (Glad you increased the dose placed in each capsule too.)

How do you administer the bolus?
And what's the minimum order you do?

Sorry, I'm confused!

I thought the capsules were "copper boluses" only. Apparently you are not the one I got mine from before. What is a "barber pole worm"?

yes they are only copper, the herbal is a separate capsul. Copper treats barber pole worms all on its own.
Barber pole worms are a great threat to the warmer climates and are often called the silent killer because often when you figure out you have them its because you have lost several goats.

So you're only selling the "copper" boluses, not the herbal wormer ones?

[QUOTE recycled duravet ivermectrin tubes[/QUOTE]

Does that come with the order or is it extra? Is it ok to give to pregnant does? Never used one of those guns so please give me instructions as I have been thinking my girls need this.

Email me or pm me for my paypal, my email is kabukienot@yahoo.com. The ivermectrin tubes are cleaned and free from any drugs it just holds a capsule perfectly and as long as I have them, i dont charge for them. Even though copper takes care of some worms I still use the ivomectrin as a wormer for lung worms.
I have to go pick up some balling guns for goats tomorrow, I dont charge above cost for those. I really do this for HT folks at cost just about.

A balling gun just is a tube with a holder at the end and has a plundger so that you can shoot the pill to the back fo the throat.

this is a good artical on how the copper is effective on barber pole worms

Received your mailing address and will be sending off an order for "copper boluses" soon. Thank you so much for creating the sizes our goats need.

always. Came upon a rough patch this winter but we ordered in bulk so we can be sure not to run out again.

I have DE (diatomaceous earth) anyone interested in buying those in daily capsule forms? Id have to figure the cost an all out and a flavoring agent so you dont have to force them down.

Im getting really high quotes from the USPS online calculator so I am weighing my first package out tomorrow, got sick so Im a bit behind. If you want to try it 30655 is my zip. I can say no matter the order amount it will never be over 4.95 as I am good at stuffing things in those flat rate boxes.
I shipped 17 to some one last fall and it was $3 for shipping. I will promise I will always ship the cheapest way possible as no one knows the need to save every dime on the homestead like I do.
