cowpat

Bovine meadow deposit

A cowpat is a flat, circular deposit of cow dung found in pastures and fields.

The word is more common in British English; Americans tend to say cow pie.

Fresh cowpats are soft and hazardous to step in; dried ones become firm and harmless: The field was dotted with cowpats.
