Don't you just love it when the kiddies are petting the billy goats at a show or open farm. You just know what the car is going to smell like on the way home.    :goat:    :bouquet:

I have my own special washing basket because all my clothes reek of sheep, and in this weather, wet sheep.


However, the 'special basket' is a hangover from the days when I was a fish farmer - now there's a smell to get people out of you way - old trout.

My mother informed me I always stink of horse muck, my favorite smell.

a few years ago,i spent a lovely afternoon with our goats trimming feet worming & stuff & made a big fuss of the billies.
well got home & a friend asked me to go to bingo with her,so of we went.
sat in the village hall the heaters were on full blast & it was full of old folks.
as time went on i noticed we were sat on our own i'm sure we were surounded by pple when we got there.
after about an hour i noticed a faint odour,after another 30 mins the billy goat smell was so bad it was making my eyes water.
never been so embarassed.
but yeah you get used to the smell,just a shame nobody else does.
