I'm sure someone can help you, but if not, try Sheepman's, they sell 5 boluses for $12.99 instead of the larger quantity. But they get you one the shipping...

I always thought they needed to be 6 months. My two LaMancha babies need it done. Guess I will be doing that tomorrow.

Thanks for the recommendation Oak Bucket Farm! I am happy to put together orders for anyone here. 85 cents each and a flat fee of $2.50 for shipping. You can order any number of boluses that you need. butterblissnubians@gmail.com.

Can you do larger boluses? I would so much rather do one larger one than 4 or 5 smaller ones.

Carol,
Go ahead and send me an email at SkyLark_RKR@yahoo.com
I may be able to help you out depending on urgency and number of goats to do.
