I don't want you to get the wrong idea by talking too much about animal's reproductive habits. I mean, this isn't that sort of blog, after all.
But following on from yesterday's frisky kingfishers, I can't resist sharing this story about an underperforming bull which has been saved from the slaughterhouse thanks to herbal 'Viagra'.
Farmer Dave Joyce from Solihull in the West Midlands came up with the novel solution to reinvigorate four-year-old Boris's libido. Apparently, he'd been "having problems finishing what he started".
Dave's assistant discovered the product on the internet - the capsules are a blend of Horny Goat Weed, Cordyceps, Damiana, Avena Sativa and Muira Puama - all claiming to rev up your love life.
The Limousin was fed them for a week and, just two days before he was due to go to the slaughterhouse, Boris regained the horn, earning him a reprieve.
"He is such a nice bull - we didn't really want to get rid of him so we started looking into alternative solutions," says Dave.
Since then, he's been positively rampant. "When the cows come out - he's the first in there," Dave reckons.
"Now he is totally on the straight and narrow, and calves are back on the agenda."
Boris remains blissfully unaware what a narrow escape he had. As Dave says: "It means we don't have to turn him into burgers."
Ive only got 4 months still to go, before my little baby girl is born. Im starting to get nesting instincts start.
