Well if the smell was on her head area, maybe they liked rubbing on each other through the fence... lol silly goats. :) It will be interesting to see if you notice the smell again sans boys in the 'hood...

Is there a shampoo that can be used or a spray that can be applied to a goat to get rid of their smell? I thought only bucks had the goat smell, but my doe has the stench too. This is my first goat, so I am unexperienced here.
I'll gladly send you a sample bar of the campers soap if you'll "goat test" it for me :)

It has citronella, geranium, juniper berry and tea tree essential oils and ground juniper berries. It'll be ready in 4 weeks.....


or a coffee scrub bar...coffee removes odors.

My goats don't stink (to me anyway) but I plan to use this soap on my horses. and myself...

All of my soap is made with goats milk and no animal fats.

ETA..not that I stink....but it should repel ticks as well as skeeters.
Wow, both of those soaps sounds really nice. I'm on board when they are ready :)

wow I will be ording some soap too.. remind us when the coffee scrub is ready... sounds like a perfect morning shower to me!

Goat smell. I agree with the 50% that like the smell.
not offensive to me at all, although I will change clothes before going to the grocery LOL

2 weeks ago Buckley got a bath... he didnt fight any harder than most dogs doo, and eventually submitted to the fact that he was tied to the fence and I was going to win.

I used an orange solvant soap on Buckleys legs and "pee'd on areas". (from the auto parts store) That killed the smell. Then I used baby shampoo on his head and the rest of him. He still smells fine and he sparkles :)
