From a couple of 100 yards I like the smell of skunk too. Reminds me of the first whiff when you would open the metal band on a tin of coffee.

When asked about it, he said that having a goat keeps the cows from getting ringworm. He knew nothing about the "why" of this, but said an old timer told him about this and so far it had been working.
Does anyone know anything about this or is it an old wives tale?
I would lay it to an OWT since goats get ringworm too. I have elephant repellent in the yard and it must works since I've never seen an elephant around here
