We own a goat dairy and use UltraCruz® Goat Copper Boluses for better herd health. Coats are super shiny. The boluses are easy to use and a convenient delivery method. Also, UltraCruz® boluses are cheaper and reasonably priced.

I have a herd of 30 goats and without fail, UltraCruz® Goat Copper Boluses make my entire herd look and feel their best! Soft, shiny and sleek coats on bucks, does and kids alike. Highly recommend this brand. You cannot beat the price or the results!
Nikki
I've been using UltraCruz® Goat Copper Bolus for 3 years now. We are a commercial goat dairy. I see better thrift overall.
Kathryn
I give UltraCruz® Goat Copper Bolus to my goats once a year, and they last. I have boer goats and have beautiful deep copper color heads.

I have purchased the UltraCruz® Goat Copper Boluses now several times and I have to say not only is it the most cost-effective way to keep my large goat herd copper compliant but the product is a better quality. The capsule casings dose easier than what I have purchased in the past and paid more of my hard earned funds.
