    I'm gonna be goin into the "deer-farmin" buisiness pretty soon. I think a fella could make a good buck by managing a descent size piece of property,(i got 80.6 acres)and chargin a select few hunters, to come kill one. Whadda y'all think?

    I actually get pretty darn homesick for Iowa when I smell pigs. I used to work in the kill pit and the gambrel table at a hog packing plant between college and the Army. The pig smell (excrement and all that) really isn't that bad. They eat pretty much the same stuff all their lives and much of it comes out looking like chewed up corn. The offensive part is the giant vat under the floor grate that collects all of the blood from 1500 hogs that were stuck during the day so that it can be pumped over to a medical research site next door. Up until the very last day of work during those six month that I was employed at the plant, the smell of large quantities of blood still made me gag. I could go back to the break room and wash the blood and excrement off my face and arms and eat lunch without a problem even though the smell of excement mixed with the humidity of evaporated water and steam (from the scalding tanks and other machinery) hung heavy in the air throughout the plant.

    I have a large hog unit less than a mile away. We only smell it on hot humid days when the wind is coming from that direction. The owners work very hard to keep the smell under control. I suppose this unit probably houses 1200 sows at least. I also worked in one of those units in N. Missouri for a short time. I really enjoyed working with the animals. The hard part was working for the management. The smell isn't that bad. It was the barn dust that killed me.

    Tried it, wasn't any good at it, kept planting them too deep or the wrong side up.

    Remember HOGZILLA? Seems there was real controversy about it's size and length.

    I was raised on a hog farm (NOT a pig farm. pigs are little hogs. We raised HOGS), and 45 years ago, we had a breed called "Landrace", which was unbelievably long. Those rascals were so long, you could just about see their rear ends going around one side of the faring house, while their front ends were coming around the other side.

    I can easily see how a HOGZILLA could come about.

    ...City boy talk! [:D] Hell, horse, cattle poop don't stink, it's the smell of ranch living. Your nose gets used to it like Ids said, after you've shoveled a few tons from horse stalls...has a clean "grassy" smell to it...it's those damn chicken ranches in Arkansas that smell REALLY bad, especially on a rainy day, eww...[;)]

    Actually, human stink is a lot worse than animal stink. We eat all kinds of crazy things. Most animals digest the same stuff throughout the course of their life.
