Copper Bolusing?

My friend gave me several of the 12.5 gram Copasure capsules, but I'm not sure how to go about dividing them up correctly to give to my goats. Does anyone know the measurements? She also gave me some empty 00 capsules. How many should be given? I know it's all based on weight, correct?

Shoot I think I did something per 44lbs...but I don't remember what! I hope someone else chimes in soon, me and my blond brain just can't remember!

1 gram rods per 22lbs. Some of my big 'uns get several boluses. I took a calf plastic bolus gun, and cut off the bulbous end... the 00 capsules fit in the shaft of the balling gun well, especially if you use peanut butter to get them to 'stick'.

I use a cheap jewelry scale from ebay to measure.
