its a large amount of waste, but its not 150lbs of solids
- Isamu 1y agoYeah cow manure is VERY wet. Compare to horse manure which is relatively dry, easy to shovel.
- delecti 1y agoThe context was shoveling a barn, and you can't leave it until it dries out, can you? I don't know how often you have to clean a barn, or how long it takes for the manure to dry, but my naive assumption would be that it takes too long to dry for how often you need to shovel.
