I resemble that remark.

My wife and I raise beef cattle on our farm in rural Florida. 30 head of Angus beef.

Next door is a dairy farm. 600 milk cows.

We both wear Muck boots when we work outside with cows. It is not by accident that they are called "muck" boots.

Manure is everywhere. Manure means dollar signs for the dairy and our farm.

Because without the manure, there would be no cows. And without any cows, our livelihoods would be in peril.

So, Edna Mode, some people like yourself may have the luxury to hate manure but to us, it is the sweet smell of money in the bank that we smell. :-)

My husband worked for a large cattle feeding operation years ago and that is what the man that owned it would say to people who commented on the smell. He said he didn’t smell anything but money when he was at the yards.
