A road of soap blocks trampled under countless feet and wheels for years on end is a great metaphor for the dwarven attitude to hygiene.

Hygiene = Bad

you could carpet the floors of nobles rooms with the stuff by dumping and then let it rot.  Nobles like purple right?

You've actually GOT tallow? For me, my dwarves give me cancellation spam for every render fat job, even when my stockpiles are overloading with the stuff.

Soap seems to be your main alternative, yeah. But with 13 dorfs I'm not sure you have the labor to spare for all the effort.

I say get the cow overpopulation under control first, then either keep the tallow for that time 20 years later when food might be a problem, or once you're free to make all of it into soap for... whatever reason. If nothing else it's a decent boost to fortress value.

Jude: I get that too.  Using the manager gets around that problem.
