Frilly, the cow pasture borders the back of our property. The cows come up to the fence where the trees are in the summer to get out of the sun. I could easily shovel some cow patties onto our side. Do you use fresh or old and does it matter? Better find us a couple of 5 gallon buckets for making manure tea. Actually, we have plenty of cat litter buckets. A friend suggested this a few years ago, but I just have never acted on it. Another thing to add to my "To Do List" this spring and summer.
