Um thanks lythande,, please can you enlighten me further. Im guessing its the numbers for nutrients etc? Im curious as to why we don't sell powdered cow manure here, given the amount of cows we have.

Because cows poo is more liquid than sheep and easy to pick up under the sheep shed you are weclome to harvest cow poo if you can collect

It's much easier to get hold of sheep poo. They're sold by some of the clubs as fundraisers. My impression was that cow poo is mostly collected in effluent ponds (i.e. in liquid form), and the farmers spray it back onto their pasture as fertiliser.

I went up Mt Kaukau yesterday and there was plenty of fresh cow manure but I didn't have any plastic bags with me. I used to take bags and pick it up but it got really heavy lugging it down again!

My in laws reckoned it was the best for potatoes and they got it from a wintering shed.

If you pick up from beef cattle, it is not as sloppy! Excellent stuff for your garden.

I buy pony poo when I see it at the side of the road for a dollar a bag. Cows are generally fed grass and maybe hay. but pampered ponies often get oats and similar hard feed - I wonder if this makes a difference to the quality of the manure?
