[QUOTE="Lil, post: 733791, member: 17309"] Well I've stayed off this one because my scents that take me back to my childhood aren't that nice! Specifically, cow and pig :poop:! I grew up on a small family farm, we had probably 40-50 head of cattle and always a dozen or so sows. Sometimes I helped my dad move the cows or feed the cows or pigs. I remember bottle-feeding the bobby calves - the male calves of dairy cows that are sold off at just a few days old. I also remember the smell of the formula we fed them...but you don't smell that unless you are actually feeding. I'd also go with Daddy to the auction barn. I remember all the old men there thought I was just IT, since most didn't have daughters or granddaughters that would go. We also had chickens and rabbits (which are just nasty). I don't remember the smell of the hens much, but cow and pig poo - I can drive down a country road with the windows open and I can tell which is which to this day without seeing the animals! :roflmao: It's not like our HOUSE smelled bad...Mom was a fantastic cook, and she baked pies and bread and just all kinds of good country cooking...but it's the barn smells that, after all these years, I remember best. Most people think it stinks, and I guess it does, but it makes me think of home. [/QUOTE]
