A few months ago, I purchased a registered Black Angus bull for $6,500. He looked healthy, well-built, and seemed like the perfect addition to improve my herd. But once he arrived at the pasture, he spent most of his time quietly grazing. Day after day, he remained calm and uninterested in exploring his new surroundings.
I started to wonder if I had made an expensive mistake.
A Vet Visit and an Unexpected Explanation
Concerned, I called the veterinarian for a full evaluation. After checking him over, the vet explained that the bull was in great condition — just young, still adjusting, and a bit unsure of himself in a new environment.
To help ease the transition, the vet recommended a daily nutritional supplement designed to support energy, growth, and overall vitality. It was a simple, routine addition to his feeding schedule, so I decided to give it a try.
A Remarkable Change
The results came quickly. Within a few days, the bull became noticeably more active and confident. He began exploring the pasture, interacting with the herd, and showing the strong temperament and energy I had hoped for when I bought him.
The transformation was impressive, and all it took was some extra support and time to adjust.
A Lesson in Patience
Today, that same bull is one of the most valuable animals on the farm. Watching his progress taught me an important lesson: even when an investment seems questionable at first, patience — combined with the right care — can make all the difference.
What once looked like a risky purchase ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made for my herd.
