    might be no harm to give them a bolus just to be sure, we give the heifers an "allsure" bolus from animex, i think coyles in galway do a cheaper version without the iodine.

    didn't think it be copper--said heifers have a shine on them..not reddish hair(which is normally a sign of copper def...)
