That said, for fun I have a sarcastic question: You said "The barn had the mellow scent of uncrowded, unhurried animals..." Do crowded and hurried animals smell different than the unhurried ones?  |
Oh yes. In a crowded barn the odor of fresh poop and pee overwhelms every other aroma. When animals compete for the hay rack they spend more time near it, so the poop and pee collects there. When there are fewer animals the stress of getting to the hay is lessened, the animals wander in and out, leaving much of the poo and pee outside. You can smell the hay and the straw, you can smell their breath, and milk cows have a kind of sweet aroma around them.
