I've had Cuzco on Cosequin ASU for almost three years now and I've been very pleased with the results. It's very expensive (almost $150 for the big tub), but it lasts for over a year so I can't complain. It's not labeled for ruminants, I think because it's got cow cartilage in it. You're not supposed to "feed cows to cows" because of the risk of Mad Cow Disease, but I decided that since I'm not going to eat Cuzco, it should be ok for me to feed him Cosequin.
Cosequin is a daily supplement and not a painkiller, so if you decide to go that route expect it to take a month or two before it really kicks in. I've sometimes given Cuzco a small dose of Bute mixed with Jell-O powder (there I go feeding ruminants to ruminants again!) before taking him on a long trailer ride or hike. It helps a lot, but it's given him clumpy poo once or twice on the first day of taking it.
