I grew up near Liberal. I remember when National Beef Packing Company was trying to get permits to build their plant there, it was touted as "odor free", and I reckon it was - we were never charged a dime for the odor that floated up from there on the days they were "cooking guts" is what we called it. Rank, very much bad - but no charge. I was in Liberal a couple of years ago, National has been bought out by someone, possibly IBP (Iowa Beef Processors) and has grown a lot. They employ lots of Mexicans, both legal and "undocumented" (wet backs) and like Dodge and Garden City, English is no longer the first language in Seward County, maybe even all of SW Kansas.

When was the last time you drove through Cactus. There's a Swift plant there right off of 287 that has a "special" scent. I call it egg fart city.
It stinks!

Now, I would kindly ask you to get off my lawn.
Thank you.
I would give him two choices. Either get off my lawn or mow it for me and then get off my lawn.

He wouldn't make the lines right...
On purpose!

Hey SGM B, Like your picture of Val Kilmer "Doc Holiday." I'm somewhat partial to Dodge City since I was born there. Haven't been to Dodge for several years now, but the last time I was there for my sixtieth high school class reunion the population had metastasized to about 65% Mexican Illegals and English had nearly become a second language in the schools. The reason no one complains about all the Mexicans, illegal or otherwise, and I have nothing against Mexicans or any other race as long as they're legal, is that they seem to tolerate the blood inherent to the cattle slaughtering industry there better than white folks. In high school, we guys could always pick out the girls that came from the south side, where cattle yards were, because of the rather distinctive "perfume" they wore. They didn't notice it of course, they were used to it, but it was in their clothing. From Dodge City on west for several miles the odors from the cattle feed yards can be quite strong, especially on hot summer days. Unlike many big city urban dwellers that think beef just magically appears in the supermarket meat case, I never complain about the odor because I do enjoy a good steak. Have a great day.

My uncle, who was a farmer and rancher, always said that smell coming from the stockyards was the smell of money.

It is nasty smelling.
It's awful after it rains.
You could smell our feed lot that was way outside of town at certain places in town.

I grew up in cattle country, trust me my friend when I say I know of the "aroma" floating off feed lots and packing plants - and don't forget bull wagons. A friend back in early 70s said "smells like cow shit to you, but smells like beans and gravy to me". He put calves in feedlot to fatten up, they were hauled in, and out of the lot in bull wagons. I suspect there are more than a few posters here on OPP who have no clue what a "bull wagon" is. LOL!

If you're on a motorcycle, you want to avoid bull wagon juice at all costs!

Yeah, when we had our 18 wheeler, we were parked at a truck stop and a bull wagon was being washed. I kept gagging.
Our friend drove a bull wagon.
He had 2 wrecks and the cattle got loose both times.
I watched it on the news when they were running down the pavement in Amarillo.
I couldn't keep from laughing.
You're probably right.
They're thinking, what's a bull wagon.
They're picturing a radio flyer with a bull sitting in it.
Now some are asking themselves, what's a radio flyer?

A guy I worked with years ago had a sister who was stopped beside one in Dumas at a red light with her window down, and a cow pissed out of the side of the trailer, and soaked her, and the inside of her car.

Yeah, I've had it hit the side of my car.
Worse than that, a guy from my hometown that worked at the feedlot used chewing tobacco.
We knew what he drove.
We tried to avoid passing him.
He always had a huge dried stream of the stuff running down the side of his pick up.
If you passed him, you were likely to get a huge stream of it running down your car.
