When you invest $6,500 in a registered Black Angus bull, you expect him to take his job seriously. So you can imagine the concern when this impressive new addition to the herd showed zero interest in the cows. Instead of embracing his role, he seemed perfectly content grazing in the pasture like he was on a permanent vacation. For any cattle owner, that’s not exactly the return on investment you hope for.
Worried that something might be wrong, I called in the vet for a professional opinion. After a thorough checkup, the verdict was reassuring: the bull was perfectly healthy. The only issue? He might have been a little too young and not quite ready to rise to the occasion. The vet suggested a simple solution—daily medication to give nature a gentle nudge in the right direction.
What happened next was nothing short of astonishing. Within just two days of starting the pills, the once-indifferent bull transformed into the most motivated member of the herd. He didn’t just make up for lost time—he exceeded expectations. In fact, his newfound enthusiasm led him to break through the fence to visit the neighboring cows as well. Let’s just say he quickly became the most talked-about bull in the county.
As for what was in those miracle pills, I can’t say for certain. But I will admit this: they had a faint peppermint taste. Whatever the formula, it clearly worked wonders—and turned a quiet pasture into a very busy one. Sometimes, all it takes is the right boost at the right time… preferably minty fresh.
