The kids have arrived!

I think the horse smell that we all talk about being so lovely is not the isolated smell itself, which, lets face it, if you had no experience/love for the beasts and somebody bottled that scent and dabbed it on their wrists you'd have them committed.

Rather, that horse smell we love is evocative of all the love and fun and warmth we who love horses remember.

If you are missing that gene (or defect, depending on your POV)
horse smell is just going to be a smell.

And FURTHERMORE...I think chickens smell far worse than any goat. So there.

bay, at first I didn't believe you that goats pee on their face! But since Thistle, said it also, I believe her!

I hate going through the laundry soap section also. The scents are so strong. Fortunately, I don't have to buy soap too often.

beautiful are the dwarf Nigerians?: I am hoping to get a couple of boer goats for the milk. don't want a male they stink so will take them to be bred congratulations on your new babies

@the1honeycomb - they are Nigerian dwarves. And for the record, my little guys don't smell any better or worse than my dog.

Sorry I heard that the borer males emmitted a musk smell when they weren't fixed

You're right Honeycomb, but it's not limited to the Boer breed. ALL bucks stink during breeding season.
Curly Kate has a wether (neutered male) and a doe, so that's not an issue with them.
