That sounds like a scene from I'llPuckerLips Now!
Globalti: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Globalti: Slurry, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Globalti: I love the smell of slurry in the morning.
.......
I was riding out Whalley way last Saturday and was thinking that there was a strong smell of slurry. I was watching out for the muck-spreaders!

Brown! You certain it was from cows, doesn't sound like it.
It'll have been fermenting away over the winter months, possibly providing heating, but shouldn't be brown.
Methinks it may be from something smaller, one slice or two.
The obvious question is how do you know what cow slurry tastes like?

I can attest to it being virulent, having nearly lost my daughter to it when she was 5. The E Coli was bad enough, but it was a complication called HUS that required admission to hospital, then a middle-of-night ambulance ride to a specialist renal unit, emergency surgery, dialysis, nasal feeding tube, blood transfusions... hell for any parent to see.
Wikipedia says this : "one third of persons with HUS have abnormal kidney function many years later ... and a few require long-term dialysis... Another 8% have other lifelong complications such as high blood pressure, seizures, blindnesss, paralysis.... The overall mortality rate is 5-15%. Children and the elderly have a worse prognosis."
Fortunately she has fully recovered, but she faces lifelong risk of complications, and regular monitoring of BP and renal function.
EColi is incredibly infectious too, but you'll be pleased to hear that it doesn't seem nearly so bad in adults.

Cubester knew the taste after a faceplant round a cattle drinker some six or seven years ago!
I'm not sure doting fathers should say stuff like this, but we were on a night ride with a club. We had a tremendous descent down a narrow rocky bridleway into a cow field. Several of us scrubbed off speed and headed for a raised headland that we knew had better drainage, but Cubester was at full pelt and set a direct course for the gateway in the middle of the field. The front wheel hit the liquid mud/shitmix and sunk to its axle, stopping more or less dead. I laughed far too much for Cubester's liking, and once back at the club (mercifully only half a mile further on) we stripped his outer clothing off and piled everything into the car. Needless to say I was still chuckling when I presented him to his Mum. The doleful expression haunts me still.

[QUOTE 4697366, member: 9609"]I have done farm work before and if you have been working with livestock your hands can get quite mucky. Sometimes after I have stopped for my piece (dinner) I have then noticed that the fingers I have been eating with are much cleaner then the others. 
[/QUOTE]
Piece. My Auntie used to say that, but she spoke the old talk from the Middle Western States, e.g.Thou daresent piece directly afore swummg.

I'd to leave one set of clothes behind after a tanker carrying pig slurry(brown) had a valve failure.
I didn't look as bad as the lad in the picture afterwards either.
Five days outside on the washing line, after washing, failed to remove the smell.

I can walk into the Tractor Supply Company, Farm and Fleet, or the Hatchery and tell you who is raising hogs, chickens, beef, or especially goats.
