May be a dumb question but?

For those that have limited space for a cow, what do you do with the manure? Burn it? Sell it?

 

[herfrds]

compost it

Ditto that by herfrds. Manure won't burn, it's better if you put it in a pile to let it decompose for several months then use it as compost. It's great to have on hand if you are growing a garden or have flower beds.

in poor areas they make discs of manure , dry it for a week or so and use as fuel

Many horse operations are turning their manure into bricks or pellets and selling it for wood stove fuel. Tried it here as an experiment and it worked quite well.

There is also a company that is turning their cow manure into "peat" like pots for planting.

In the US when the Native Americans and the buffalo roamed the prairie the Native Americans did the same with the buffalo dung.

Once completely dry there is no odor. The wet matter is what causes the odor.

Thanks for sharing the photo FarmGuru

My pleasure. In Pakistan people dry these discs on wall. There is is a joke very famous here that a tourist came to see a village and after watching these disc asked people how your cows manage to climb the walls
