I recently spent $6,500 on this registered Black Angus bull.
The bull started to service the cows within two days……. all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor’s cows! He’s like a machine! I don’t know what was in the pills the Vet gave him … but they kind of taste like peppermint.
Let me tell you, I had my doubts when I handed over that kind of cash for a single animal. I mean, $6,500? That’s a lot of steaks and burgers in potential, but I was promised this bull was worth every penny—and oh boy, was that an understatement.
The bull—let’s call him Hercules—arrived at my farm with the kind of swagger you’d expect from a prizefighter. Thick neck, powerful frame, and eyes that said, “I’m here to work.” Within 48 hours of stepping hoof on my property, he got straight down to business. I barely had time to introduce him to the ladies before he was out there making connections… and I mean serious connections.
All of my cows? Serviced. Not just once either—some of them were lining up like they were waiting for a ride at the county fair. It was like Hercules knew he had a job to do and wasn’t about to waste a second.
But he didn’t stop there.
Two days later, I found the fence torn down. I was about to launch into a fit about repairs when I spotted him on the other side—charming my neighbor’s cows like Casanova with hooves. I’ve never seen anything like it. My neighbor came over laughing, “Hey, I guess we’re co-parenting next spring!”
Now, I don’t know what kind of supplements the vet gave him before he arrived, but whatever they were, they were working. I asked the vet about them, and he just winked and handed me a little packet of peppermint-flavored pills. I thought he was joking—until I accidentally tasted one myself. Kind of refreshing, actually.
Hercules is a machine. No—he’s better than a machine. He’s a legend in the making. I’ve already had a few local farmers reach out asking if I’d consider “sharing the wealth,” so to speak. If things keep going like this, I’ll make that $6,500 back in no time. Honestly, I’m thinking of getting him a little cape or something—he’s earned it.
Moral of the story? Don’t underestimate a good investment in quality livestock. And maybe double-check your fences.
