cowpats

Bovine meadow deposits

Cowpats are the flat, circular droppings left by cattle in fields and pastures.

The dung dries into disk-shaped masses that can persist for weeks.

In rural areas, dried cowpats have been used as fuel.

The word is more common in British English; Americans often say cow patties or cow pies.
