I recently spent $6,500 on this registered Black Angus bull, but all he did was eat grass and ignore the cows. I thought I’d wasted my money.
The vet checked him out, said he was healthy but maybe a bit young, and gave me some pills to feed him daily. Two days later, he was breeding all my cows, then broke through the fence and bred all my neighbor’s cows!
I still don’t know what was in those pills… but they kinda taste like peppermint.

This story is comedy gold. But it’s also a reminder that sometimes, solutions come from unexpected places—and that asking for help can change everything.
The farmer spent $6,500 on a registered Black Angus bull. That’s a significant investment. Bulls like that are bred specifically for their genetics, their size, their ability to produce strong offspring. They’re not cheap, and they’re not purchased on a whim.
So when the bull arrived and did absolutely nothing—just ate grass, ignored the cows, acted completely uninterested in his very expensive job—the farmer panicked. He’d wasted his money. The bull was useless. The investment was a failure.
But instead of giving up, the farmer called the vet. And the vet checked the bull out, confirmed he was healthy, and suggested he might just be a bit young. Then he gave the farmer some pills to feed the bull daily.
Two days later, everything changed.
The bull went from lazy and disinterested to… extremely interested. He bred all the farmer’s cows. Then, in a burst of enthusiasm that no one expected, he broke through the fence and bred all the neighbor’s cows too.
The punchline—”I still don’t know what was in those pills… but they kinda taste like peppermint”—is perfect. Because it implies the farmer tried the pills himself. Which is hilarious and slightly concerning. But also, somehow, exactly the kind of thing a farmer would do.
This story works because it’s funny, but also because it’s relatable. How many times have we invested in something—time, money, energy—only to feel like it’s not working? How many times have we been ready to give up, convinced we’d made a mistake?
And how often does the solution turn out to be simpler than we thought? A vet visit. Some pills. A little patience. And suddenly, the bull that seemed like a waste of money becomes the most productive animal on the farm.
The lesson? Don’t give up too quickly. Ask for help. Sometimes the thing you think is broken just needs a little adjustment. And sometimes, mystery peppermint pills solve everything.
Don’t forget to like. Thank you. Because this story is ridiculous and wonderful, and we all need a little humor in our lives. Plus, there’s a massive bull in the photo, and that alone is worth appreciating.
