What started as a frustrating investment quickly turned into the most unexpected turnaround on the ranch.
After weeks of apathy, my $6,500 Black Angus bull—once more interested in grass than the girls—was suddenly the busiest guy in the pasture. All it took was one vet visit, a clean bill of health, and a mystery pill.
Within 48 hours of giving him the supplement, the bull sprang into action—literally. He went from passive to passionate, covering the entire herd like it was his life’s mission. My jaw practically hit the ground. I wasn’t sure what was in those pills, but I half-joked to the vet: “You sure you didn’t just give him Viagra?”
The vet smirked. “Let’s just say he found his confidence.”
Today, the bull is worth every penny—and then some. The calves we’re expecting next season? They’ll be living proof.
Ever had a big investment turn around unexpectedly?
