Where do you get copper bolus?

Where is a good place to purchase copper boluses and guns? Hoegger Supply doesn't seem to carry them. Thanks.
And any advice on giving them?

Jeffers carries the copasure boluses for cattle, and I believe you can get the empty capsules to reduce them down into, and the guns there too. I just put the rods on a marshmallow so I don't need the gun.

How many goats do you have?

I bought mine from Ashley here on the board (screename Southerngirl I think) sge sells them already made and offers two sizes (one 55lbs I think, the other is around 25lbs). Really great prices, fast shippibg and you don't have to spring for the whole thing of coposure in the begining....just get weights on all your goats and have her help you figure out what you need

Everybody seems to be out of stock right now. I've had an order in at Jeffers for almost a month.

Thankyou for the idea. I only have two does. I saw the boluses at Valley vet but wasn't sure how to re-dose them. I'll try and find Ashley here, and maybe she will see this thread.
