Well, you don't know of which you speak, either.  Cow manure is 
routinely spread on the ground in all 50 states.  Slurry and 
other methods of storage/disposal are not the same cow manure 
that comes out of the cow.  In fact, it's not even cow manure any 
longer.
   Those facts are exactly why cows are often pastured on fields 
the farmer plans to change crops on next season, and almost 
always when a hay field is being rotated over to crops and vice 
versa.  I suppose you think the cows are trained to go potty in 
their pits?  Or to wear cement diapers?  Nahhh!
   Here's a riddle for you:  What's the difference between a teat 
and a tit?  No, they are not the same thing and cows have both. 
No reference to humans.
