Well that's good to know about the copper boluses at least. I've got a healthy respect for mineral overdoses after what happened to my horse. I'm using the UltraCruz boluses, but they're the exact same thing as CopaSure.
I'd heard that copper helps with parasite reduction, but I've never really had opportunity to test that out myself. Because of our dry climate, we're blessed with very few parasite problems in my neck of the woods. Add to that the fact that my goats spend most of their time roaming around 40 acres of clean browse, and the fact that I move their pens to clean ground a few times a year, and we've never had any parasite problems at all. Every so often I take fecal samples to the vet and so far they've never found anything for me to treat.
