ive got a whole bucket of chicken shit from our farm, the soil i use is from our cow field, i scooped it up from around the cows old hayring area..where they stand and munch and shit all day so the shit piles up after years...dont know how long that hay ring was there but they tore it up so we bought a new one and its in a different location...and that was done over a year before i even got my soil so i rekon if it needed some weathering it got it...anyway in the old hay ring area where i scooped up my soil theres no grass growing just a big patch of dark dark soil i guess from all the cow shit......how is cow shit for plants anyway??....my plant is in budding process can i transplant into bigger pot without hurting anything?? plant is in one gallon ice cream tub..anyway got more soil from farm and chicken shit...was wondering how much chickin shit i should use or how i go about using it..or even if its good to use at all. thanks for the responses in advance.

That's a lot of shit!

why do dairy cows poop have a different N-P-K then steers?

Would it have anything to do with their diet? This a test? Did I pass?

I know cows get given some kind of feed in the form of pellets, plus they are encouraged to graze on fresh grass/vegetation.
Cows are milked, are steers milked?
If not, would it be something to do with the pellet feed they are given?

If that's the case, then wouldn't their shit be different from steers...

lol are cow farm is not a dairy farm...we sell the calfs at auction auctioned off by beef companies or local farmers who need either heffers or steers..all our cows eat is hay and the grass they have in their 18 acre pasture....salt blocks, cotton seed, corn, like protein pellets or somthing...we also have chickens
