Thanks for the tip!Hickoryneck said:I ordered a bottle of 25 when Jeffers had it on sale for the 12 days of christmas
Here is how I gave the copper to my herd it worked great and was super easy so I wanted to share since you all will be using the pills soon
I opened up the bolus and measued out half into a muffin liner then poured it back into the top half of the bolus so I had 2 halfves measured out I then took apple jelly and filled the half boluses with it so the copper would not fall out I then used my bolus gun to give each adult her half pill and the jelly held the copper in like a champ All my goats were easy to dose but one who somehow could manage to cough it back up 3 times so I held her mouth closed and she chewed it up then swallowed not ideal but she is a pain and I expect her to be the one to be weird like that p.s. My goats are full sized and I used the Calf Bolus Gun
I do have one kid so I measured her out a small dose and filled 2 caplets then put then in the bolus gun together and dosed her
Thanks for the update and for the link!WhiteMountainsRanch said:Just an update guys,
I ordered the stuff from Jeffers and we are just waiting for it to come.
I'll mail it out individually once I get them in!
BUT while I was looking on Jeffers it looks like they are offering a new product; check it out!

So next time we wont have to do this to split it anymore! It should be pretty cost effective to just buy your own bottle now!
Sorry it took me so long to update!
Thanks so much!WhiteMountainsRanch said:Sent everyone's packets out today! You will get them soon!!! Yay!
