Cow Freshener

Air fresheners for cows

Cows smell really bad, especially when wet. I'm proposing an air freshener that hangs around a cow’s neck like the old bells did. It would contain a compound that absorbs methane (and general cow smell) and releases a pleasant scent like strawberries.

This town smells like a cross between wet cows and skunks when it rains here. I hate cows except when it's dinnertime.

We have air fresheners for everything else (cars, houses, toilets, cat boxes), so why not cows?

       I'm a farmer and I really don't don't like when city people start in with the farmers. We have it a WHOLE lot harder than you do, and we take all this critizsm.

       Might I suggest some sort of hickory smoke sauce?

       I wasn't intentionally attacking farmers.   

       And I agree, farming is very hard work. I used to milk my grandfathers cows and help him durring harvest season (He owned 1 tractor and most of the work was done by horses and manual labor, he thought new machines took the pride out of farming). Granted, it wasn't a big industial farm, you could walk the perimeter of the fields in an hour. That doesn't change the fact that cows smell.

       [dickity] - No, but I would support active carbon noseplugs.

       Methane is completely odorless. The main scent associated with it is from hydrogen sulfide.
