Once liquefaction sets in six one way, half dozen the other.
The crap humans eat makes their rotting guts stink worse than just about anything else. |

Human smell is worse psychologically, if you know because it's hard for the brain to deal with defilement of the human body.
I once stumbled upon a ripe dead hog  . I swear the smells jumped off that hog and latched onto my nose hairs. Took DAYS and multiple showers to get that smell off me and outta my head.

There is a dead cow across the street and that thing stinks. Is there any comparison between the two? The deceased cow is behind a barbed wire fence, and the owners lease the land. Damn that thing stinks. So I wonder, which smells worse? same same. burnt body smells like burnt steak too. J- |

Largely depends on the size and diet of said animal.
Humans most often always smell worse. Worse I've personally seen was a 350lb+ woman who died in a bath tub. Best we could tell she had MI'd and drowned. Had been sitting for almost a week in the summer desert heat. Fat fuck soup is hands down the worst thing I've ever smelled, couldn't eat for days, and I can easily down food after scooping any normal fragrant stiff. |

I think the difference is that the cow is out in a pasture, with a large amount of open space for the smell to dissipate....But, the cow weighs quite a bit more than most people
Most people die in a confined space (house, car, etc). My GF worked for the coroner for experience before going to PA school and said that the decomp cases left the smell in her nose for days...you couldn't touch the body or meat would fall off |

We had some amateur butcher dumping cow remains in the woods at one of the local disc golf courses (located in a city park). This was happening every few months and it stunk to high heaven.
One day, a buddy and I are enjoying a round, and I have a drive veer off the fairway and land a good 20 yards into the woods. As I retrieved my disc, I smelled that rotting flesh odor and simply chalked it up to more cow remains. That evening, I'm watching the news, and they report that a dead human body had been found at that park by two other disc golfers. Turned out it wasn't cow remains that time. I've always been thankful that I was not the one to have happened upon that dead body. |

A decomposing human corpse smells like a decomposing pig.
What's worse is a decomposing human body that is alive. I think it's the added joy of weeks of urine and feces. Ah, the things you learn as a paramedic . |

I once lived in a house that used a cultivated spring for its well. The water pipe ran 1/4 mile across a field to the house. Once a groundhog or something fell inside that contraption, it was about 3'x4 and about 6' feep but only had maybe 3' of water in it. I had to fish it out in chunks. Most likely a groundhog that has been decomposing there for weeks.
The small was awful. Worse I have been drinking some of that groundhog water that ran to the house. I got stomach sick for 2 days. Today, a decade later, just the thought of that circumstance makes me throw up if I think about it long enough. It's permanently stuck in my head. The smell that is. Never ran across OP's subject or cows but I am sure it's just as bad after a few weeks. |

They are pretty similar smells.
Found a body in our apartments a few months ago, it was bad
I opened the windows and immediately destroyed the air quality on the entire block 
When the cop came around the corner from parking the reaction was priceless...it was as if he hit a wall. |

Rotten meat.....as someone that worked during Katrina and also some messy parts of Iraq.
It's pretty bad... First experience with it was a neighbor who died next door and I had to enter the house using the doggy door. It was awful and traumatic to see....his bloated body and this awful stench...and he was an awesome neighbor.... Miss him a lot. |

A human body that has been in an apartment that has the heat up to 80 degrees for a couple of weeks is something you don't forget. That was the only time I had to use Vicks Vapo-rub under my nose.
.
I have no idea how the transport team for the coroner's office does their job. I might have to see a stinking dead person once or twice a year. They deal with it daily. |

But the bursters are the worst. |

It just permeates the aluminum and never goes away. Fuck, I'm gagging writing this.

As a homicide detective I've seen a lot of them. My worse was a murder/suicide in a non air-conditioned mobile home out in the middle of a field in the hot South Louisiana summer. The windows were blacked out by the flies. Respirators were not enough, we borrowed a couple of scott air packs from the fire department. The bodies were just 2 lumps of moving masses of maggots. After most db stinkers, I just had to hang my clothes outside for a few days before washing them. I threw them away after this case.

They only found it because the water from the tub had been leeching into the floor/ceiling of the unit under hers. |

Take some deer meat scraps. Stick them in a cooler with the intention of throwing them out. Forget about them and open that cooler about 2 months later. A rotting corpse smell is hard to explain, especially if in a confined space, It sorts of sticks with you for a long time.

we go "Nose blind" pretty quick but I don't think with the smell of dead humans it ever happens.
rancid Pork is the closest thing I know of. one of the things that gets me with zombie movies...even if you're nose blind to it..you open a door with a dozen rotten corpses behind it, the stink will damn near take you off your feet..yet the actors portray no reaction to the dead. |

They smell that same, but the human weighs 150-200 lbs. while a cow weighs 900-1,500 lbs. So the cow will smell stronger for longer. Normally the farmers just hook them to a tractor with a logging chain and drag them to the back 40.

To me, a rotting human body smells the worst because it is an unatural smell not normally encountered during your daily routine.
It is 1000 times worse than vomit and 100 times worse than a bloody stool and maggot infested rotting garbage. |
