I haven't had cattle of my own since about 1990, so
my neighbor brings some of his over to graze on my
pastures.

Every year I have to be forcibly reminded that you
do NOT drive across a fresh pasture with an open
station tractor, and then hit road gear at full
throttle when you get on to the town road.
 
When you had cattle, how many times were you reminded to point the tractor in to the wind before you turned the manure spreader on?
 
That's when you get some on your finger,put it under her nose and say "Does that smell like mud?".
 
Years ago we were hauling cattle. Light turned red, and a bus pulled right up to the back of the truck. Light turned green and so did his windshield. Not sure what he wanted put was honking as we drove off.
 
A friend of mine was new to farming and bought a manure spreader. I told him to hook up a rope to the disconnect arm and when the pile is almost gone at the beater to pull it and shut the beater off. He thought it was too much trouble and said naw. After hauling out the first load- he hooked up a rope!
 
I was driving through Beaufort, SC once. I was third in line behind a pickup pulling a horse trailer and a small import convertible with the top down. A young man and a gal in the convert.

The guy in the convertible insisted on tailgating the horse trailer. About that time, the last horse in the trailer, a mare, humped her back and let fly with what seemed like 5 gallons of pee. The airflow around the trailer being what it was, the entire convertible was saturated. From my vantage point, the gal in the convertible appeared to be somewhat hysterical.

I would guess the young man reviewed his habit of tailgating, particularly behind horse trailers.
 
My neighbors cows got out and left some reminders on the dead end road. A guy came to my MX track and was wondering what the smell was. He didn't realize that the "dirt" on his car wasn't dirt. LoL
 
The good old smell of money!!! LOL

The funniest one I ever saw on this was at a DOT scale several years ago. There was a new DOT guy inspecting our truck over. He went to walk back to the scale house and walked right along a bull rack. Right as he was along side the trailer a cow fresh off pasture let fly. LMAO HE was covered in green manure head to toe. Everyone was laughing so hard they where almost crying. The older DOT guys where laughing the hardest.
 
Cattle manure actually smells good compared to hog manure. I'll be cleaning 3 pens (16x24) here in a couple of weeks-plus a strip along the downhill side. Prob'ly won't get too fanatical on the outflow slop as it has volunteer punkins growing in it.
 
I don't know which is worse, hog or chicken! Where I live there are a lot of chicken operations. You pass one of those on a hot, humid summer night and that will open your sinuses in a hurry!
