It is untrue that all goats smell. Female goats kept in good condition will smell of nothing other than clean straw and sweet hay. As their droppings are of a dry nature they are far easier to keep clean than cows and other farm animals. Uncastrated male goats do smell. Male goats kept for stud purposes have a very strong distinctive smell, especially during the mating season, (August to March).

Goats milk is naturally ultra-moisturizing. Goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids and natural occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. The result is a pH level that is good for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin.

You may notice a slight odor on your skin a few hours after your session. Some comment that the scent is very pleasant, whereas others feel it is somewhat unpleasant.

It's fiberglassing resin, MEK catalyst, pastes, gelcoats and a number of other top secret ingredients ( the sweat off the craftsman's brow, the blood from the craftsman's fingers, you know the sort of thing...? ) added to the mix. After a while the exquisitely pungent aroma does dissipate but it never really goes away completely. Kind of a trademark, I like to think...

If the smell of propane is present in the air over a period of time, “odor fatigue” can occur. The nose “gets tired,” and a person no longer smells the propane odor. The propane smell may be in a location (basement or attic) where it is not detected by people in other areas of the building. A phenomenon called “odor fade” can occur—an unintended reduction in the concentration of the odor of propane.

Our goats are fed grass and alfalfa hay along with a grain ration especially designed for dairy goats. Minerals are fed free-choice.

Right now most of our herd consists of Nubians. We do have some Alpines and have crossed them last fall to produce a Nubian/Alpine cross. That way we will get the best of both breeds since both have their advantages.

That will depend on the caretaker. Just like any other pet or animal, they need care--cleaning out the dirty bedding in the coop, keeping it dry and having a clean/dry area of sand or dirt for the birds to take dust bathes in. These practices will all help to keep your birds happy, healthy and odor free.

A - If your skates start to smell funny you can insert scented insoles or use a spray to keep them fresher.

The tissue lining the upper one-third of the nose contains sensory cells for our sense of smell. Scientists have found that the sense of smell is most accurate between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It begins to decline after age 60, and a large proportion of elderly persons lose their smelling ability. Women of all ages are generally more accurate than men in identifying odors. Some people are born with a poor sense of smell or taste.

ANSWER: Most agricultural smells and noises are generally considered “normal” operating practices. The County of Sonoma has adopted a “right to farm” ordinance that states, “normal agricultural operations will not be considered a nuisance”. We recommend initiating a dialogue with the grower you are concerned with. Most growers are willing to explain their practices and make efforts to reduce the effects of their activities on their neighbors.
