In today’s episode of what you didn’t know, we bring you something you must have been so bothered about. Like us, If you are someone who has come across or have goats in your home or in your neighborhood, you must have been used to the smell of goats.
Most often, people are disgusted when they come across a buck (He goat) because, they smell really bad, but do people actually know why these specie of goats smell that bad.? Let’s find out why!
Bucks generally only smell bad for part of the year. They have scent glands by their horns, but they also like to pee on their beards and legs to attract the does (Female) during rut. Someone even said It is like men putting cologne before going out, to attract a woman. Without this smell, these male goats can’t attract the does.
You might also have wondered how to deal with the smell or how to quench it in these animals and the answer is simple: The only way to stop a buck from smelling is to castrate them. This will mean taking away their sexual desire because without this smell, they remain unnoticed and unattractive to their ladies.
