Who has copper?

I am looking for copper boluses for my 3 does. Does anyone here still sell individual doses, or does anyone have 1 of the big cow boluses that you could sell me individually, so I don't have to buy a whole package of them (because that is way more than I need)??

There are some folks who sell the individual doses, but you will be administering boluses several times a year for years. The boluses don't deteriorate.

several times a year? I thought it only had to be done once every 6-8 months?

Just wanted to stop in and say THANK YOU to Cannon Farms! My goats are looking great after bolusing about a month ago. Had one Alpine that just looked shabby, no matter what mineral and feed she had. Her dull hair coat is almost all shed out now and she's looking fantastic
