sheep manure

Woolly livestock droppings

Sheep manure is the feces of sheep, valued as fertilizer for its high nitrogen content and relatively dry, pellet-like form that's easy to handle.

It breaks down more quickly than cow manure and is less likely to burn plants: I worked sheep manure into the garden beds before planting.
