I spent five years in Western Kansas. Those cattle feed lots were pretty bad but not in the same class as pig farms.
The worst smell tho was a place called National By Products. If the wind was right when you drove by, you literally had to hold your breath.
I honestly don’t see how people can stand working there. I once saw a lady wearing a jacket with “National By Products” across the back. There was also a drawing of a cow. I thought to myself that they should have shown the cow on it’s back with all four legs in the air and stink lines coming off it.
Cattle in cattle trucks smell pretty barnyard-y too. One afternoon in Omaha I had the privilege of passing two semis hauling live cattle in well ventilated trailers. This is what steak smells like before you kill it....
Ever smelled a pogy fish mill in Louisiana?
You’d be happy to stick your head up a pigs butt to get away from that.
