I recently made a $6,500 investment in a registered Black Angus bull. After I introduced him to the herd, I was a bit disappointed. All he seemed to do was graze, and he didn’t show any interest in the cows. At first, I thought maybe I had made a poor decision and paid too much for him. However, I decided to have a veterinarian come out and take a look to see if there was a reason behind his lack of enthusiasm.

The vet assured me that the bull was in excellent health, though he suggested that the bull might just be a little young to fully engage with the herd. After checking him over, the vet prescribed some pills, telling me to administer them once a day. He mentioned that the pills might help the bull get more active, but didn’t give much more detail about what they did.

Within two days of starting the treatment, the transformation was incredible. The bull began to mate with all my cows, and not only that—he even managed to break through the fence and got busy with all my neighbor’s cows as well! It was as if the bull had turned into a completely different animal, working non-stop. It was almost like he couldn’t be stopped. I honestly had no idea what was in those pills the vet gave him, but they definitely worked. Oddly enough, they had a slight peppermint flavor, which was the only thing that stood out to me.

Now, I’m not sure exactly what happened, but one thing’s for sure—the bull is definitely earning his keep. What started as a questionable purchase has quickly turned into a very productive investment!
