Guess you never cleaned the calf pen in the spring! Two feet deep in calf manure and decaying straw that had been compacted by their hooves all winter. Had to use a pick to break it up.

When you have been in the barn all winter cleaning gutters and feeding half fermented silage your olfactory nerves are sort of shot by spring.

I actually breathe deep when we pass cows and horses.... it’s one of those smells like skunk: we all know it smells bad, but more people actually like the way it stinks than are willing to admit it. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

 

Although, I’m sure it loses its “appeal” if you will, when it’s constant bombardment and not a passing whiff

I guess I was lucky when helping in the hay fields of my neighbor in my teens as he had a baler with a kicker (my first year McCormick brand then a new JD version) so no wagon stacking just dragging them to the elevator that took took them to the loft by the time I was 16 he traded in for a round baler. But my grandfather made "loose" hay used all horse drawn implements converted to be pulled with one the Allis Chalmers B or C so sickle bar mower cut, then sun dried for a day or two then dump/buggy raked in small piles then pitch forked in large "shocks" then after another day or two pitch forked onto dad's old Studebaker 2 ton flatbed truck or flat bed single axle trailers tugged by the AC tractors to the barns then either pitch forked or hay forked into the three barns on the property up until his first stroke (about age 11 or 12 for me)... Good times.
