I shelled out $6,500 for a registered Black Angus bull, hoping he’d boost productivity. But once I set him loose with the cows, he did… nothing. Just grazed, lounged, and ignored the ladies. I started to worry I’d bought a very expensive lawn ornament.
So I called the vet. After a quick checkup, he said the bull was healthy but maybe just a bit young — and lazy. He handed me a bottle of pills and said, “Try giving him one a day.”
Two days later? Total transformation. The bull suddenly sprang to life — not just romancing my cows but busting through the fence to visit the neighbor’s too! Whatever was in those peppermint-scented pills, they worked.
Now I’ve got a herd full of pregnant cows, an overachieving bull, and a neighbor who’s less than thrilled. Moral of the story? Sometimes, all it takes is a little boost to get things moving.
