Packing for a stock show is an art. Every item in your show box earns its spot—and for us, the Soft-Tipped Bolus Gun is non-negotiable.
But it’s not just any bolus gun. Ours is specially designed with a rubber tip, which makes a big difference when you’re trying to safely give supplements without irritating your animal’s throat or mouth. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes tools that we can count on.
Here’s Why You Need One:
You’ve just hauled 18 hours to a major show. Everyone’s tired, including the livestock. One of your heifers goes off feed—a totally normal reaction to the stress of travel. She’s still drinking and eating hay, but hasn’t touched her grain. That’s a problem when she’s on a supplement program…
This is where the Soft-Tipped Bolus Gun comes in.
We load her supplements into gel caps, pop them into the bolus gun, and give them to her just like you’d take a multivitamin. No drenching. No fighting. No stress. It’s fast, clean, and helps keep her on track until she’s ready to dive back into her full ration.
We’ve used it to give activated charcoal when a calf got loose. Could we have drenched her? Sure. But honestly, using a bolus gun is easier—especially when you want a precise dose and a clean delivery.
Pro Tip
If you’re a newer showman or just not confident in drenching, a bolus gun can be used for the same thing a lot of times and is much simpler to use. It’s user-friendly and efficient.
