My granny taught all her grandchildren how to bathe in less than a gallon of water. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and no exceptions.

We had to haul water from the well up the hill with a bucket too.

you offend all us goat grannys on free republic...city boy...goats that have a breeding season only smell during that time and its the males that stink.....Like men that pour on too much after shave, the males pee on themselfs and think its alluring to the females...and you shear them twice a year, they smell like lanolin which they produce to keep their hair waterproof. (angora goats). Also makes your hands nice and soft as you seperate hair according to grade.
