cow chip

Dried bovine droppings

A cow chip is a dried piece of cow dung.

On the treeless plains, settlers burned them for fuel.

The dried patties are sometimes thrown competitively at rural festivals: the annual cow chip throwing contest.

Also called cow pie, though that term more often refers to fresh manure.
