The following question was presented:
Bit of a weird question, but it was inspired by the smells that great you in Coalinga. There's a huge farm/ranch with thousands of cows and there's this brown fug that you drive through that has a very strong smell of cow shit. I was wondering ... like, you know when you go for a dump and leave the toilet, but then have to go back in and you smell your shit and think wow, did I do that? I was wondering - do you think cows mind the smell of cow shit?

Analysis:
It seems we have a mixed view on this. I don't think this is too stupid a question. Dogs clearly love the smell of poo. They spend most of their time looking for another dog's arse to sniff and if there's cow poo around, they'll go rolling in it and eat it. Humans, at least this one, don't like the smell of poo and generally buy things like air fresheners to disguise the smell of a freshly laid turd. Cows on the other hand, I'm not so sure. Given that they kind of just shit constantly and do it while they're walking around wherever they happen to be, I'm going to say that they're not bothered by it, but I haven't asked one to confirm.
