| A mornings haul |
Each night I put the cows in their
"bedroom" so I can rest easier, especially if
their are calves with them. Then in the morning I am rewarded with pies! lots of them.
Since my cows went dry I have been selling
their manure on Craigslist.
Actually I have been surprised at how many people are willing to pay for cow poop. Although I used to do the same( sometimes we forget to appreciate what we have).
I decided to try to sell their manure to try to find another way for the animals to pay their keep.
Yes, I have made more than what I am spending on them, so that is good. I even thought about taking some in bags to a local nursery,
Did you know a person has to have a license from the State Chemist to sell "fertilizer"?
It is a bit hazy as far as selling manure or worm castings (which are just worm poop) but the woman I spoke with advised me to go ahead and pay for the license, ( never wanting to miss out on a dollar! )
Anyway, as a Horticulturist I have always known how valuable this product is, in many parts of the world the cow manure is more important than the value of the meat or milk-
in fact the reason these animals are considered sacred in India is primarily because of the value of their poop! Check out this link-
