I recently invested $6,500 in a registered Black Angus bull. I eagerly introduced him to the herd, but he seemed uninterested in the cows and only focused on grazing. This left me wondering if I had made a poor investment decision.
Concerned about the bull’s performance, I called in a veterinarian for an evaluation. After a thorough check-up, the vet reassured me that the bull was in excellent health but might be a bit too young to be fully active. He prescribed a special supplement, advising me to give the bull one pill per day.
Amazingly, within just two days, the bull's behavior changed completely. He started breeding with all my cows — even breaking through the fence to get to my neighbor’s cows! It was as if the bull had turned into a breeding machine overnight. Whatever was in those pills worked wonders, and to my surprise, they had a peppermint flavor.
