cow chips
Dried bovine droppings
Cow chips are dried pieces of cow dung, found in pastures and fields where cattle graze.
Historically used as fuel in treeless regions: Pioneers burned cow chips when wood was scarce.
The term is slightly euphemistic—chip sounds cleaner than alternatives like cowpat or cow pie.
