I just dropped $6,500 on a registered Black Angus bull—a true beast, boasting top-tier genetics and a presence that demanded respect. I was beyond excited to add him to my herd and boost my breeding program. This bull was exactly what I’d been hunting for.
But reality hit fast. The moment I introduced him to my cows, my excitement started to fizzle. Instead of showing any spark of interest, he simply wandered off, grazing like he’d just signed up for a grass-eating contest. Day after day, he ignored the cows completely—no courting, no mating, nothing. Just endless munching.
Frustration crept in. What was wrong? Had I been duped? Was he too young, shy, or just not cut out for breeding? The more I watched, the heavier the doubt weighed on me. I’d invested a fortune, but he seemed worthless.
Desperate, I called in the vet. After a thorough check-up, the vet gave me some relief: “He’s perfectly healthy. Just young and inexperienced.” Then he handed me a small bottle of pills. “Give him these once a day. They’ll kickstart things.”
Skeptical but hopeful, I mixed the pills into the bull’s feed the next morning. Within two days, everything changed.
The bull transformed from lazy to legendary. Suddenly, he was on fire—servicing every cow in the herd with unstoppable energy. He became a breeding machine, hitting one cow after another without missing a beat.
Then, things got wild. A few days later, he busted through the fence and started paying visits to my neighbor’s cows too. The neighbors called, less than thrilled, but I couldn’t help feeling impressed by my bull’s newfound vigor.
Curious, I even tasted one of the pills myself—surprisingly minty, almost like peppermint candy. Who knew something so simple could unleash such a beast?
Looking back, I learned a big lesson about patience and not jumping to conclusions. That bull went from a dud in my eyes to the most active breeder I’ve ever owned.
Now, my biggest headache? Fixing fences and keeping the neighbors happy. But one thing’s for sure—this bull has more than earned his keep, and I’ll never doubt him again.
