Davis does not smell like cows, unless you are in the student apartments by the aggie farm. I don't know what you are talking about.

It doesn’t smell like cows everywhere :)

But when I ride my bike to the campus farm to buy meat, depending on the weather and perhaps other conditions it might smell like cow shit! It doesn’t happen often though.

That doesn’t really bother me. However, one year when I was in college something happened to the tomato harvest that caused lots of huge flies all over the city. I generally like the weather here and all the other sort of agricultural elements, but that was the one gross think I can think of.

'the campus farm' 'the town smells like cows'. I mean..come on.

And cow shit is honestly a pretty mild smell. You only notice it when it's massed up and collected as manure, not just from there being cows somewhere around doing their thing.
