cow patties

Bovine waste piles

Cow patties are flattened masses of cow dung found in pastures and fields.

The term is somewhat euphemistic—patty suggests something shaped and tidy, softening the reality.

Dried cow patties have historically been used as fuel.

Watch your step—the field is full of cow patties.
