sheep droppings

Pasture floor fertilizer

Sheep droppings are the fecal pellets left by sheep—small, dark, oval-shaped balls scattered across pastures and hillsides.

The term appears in agricultural and rural contexts: The field was dotted with sheep droppings.

Like other animal waste, sheep droppings serve as fertilizer, though the phrase often simply describes what you're trying not to step in.
