Never burned any cow chips but we had plenty of cow chip fights. The trick was finding one dry enough to pitch but with enough goo inside to splatter and stick all over your target who was usually your best friend. Came home many a day and was sent to the garden hose by my mom to clean up enough even to enter the utility room!
Not a problem, all in good fun. Just wonder how many piles of cow turds we might start seeing in hoarders yards now. With dedication like buzzsaw Brad one could be in deep chit pretty quick.
Lots of time the swimming hole was also the cattle watering hole. They don’t stop at the edge to drink unless its cold. When its hot they wade on out & soup up the bottom tromping around.
Love it!! My Dad brought home a Comodor(?), idk it looked similar but no Oregan Trail. But it had Hangman on it. LOL changing out the floppies.
I just found this on google. They wanted $51 to buy the article, but the abstract gave the answer, so I didn't have to spend anything. South dakota buffalo chips come out to about 2 tons or 400 cu ft to equal a cord of average firewood. Looks pretty good if you can get the moisture content low enough. Now, let's discuss proper stacking and drying. Do they dry faster if split? How long can you store them? Top cover as a minimum, but preferably indoors? What about turning them into bio bricks or pellets?
Ok guys, this is really turning into something. Rabbits make pellets, and they are relatively dry when they are produced. A little more drying and they should feed through a pellet stove. So....how many rabbits would it take to heat your house with the pellets? We have about 40 rabbits, and it seems like it is raining pellets under the hutches. Each rabbit supposedly makes 200-300 pellets per day, so I need to dry and weigh some......
I found a piece of fine expanded sheet/screen that might fit under one of the hutches. I think I should do a 24 hour collection and see what I get. Maybe do 24 hours on several different hutches to get a good baseline? How should I dry them? My wife said I can't use the oven for drying poop. I did just get a lerge toaster oven from a friend...
Did you have the cassette loader? To this day, the strangest way to play a game for me yet. Blue Max was the name of the game. It was on cassette somehow. My dad had a pretty beastly collection of floppys. Seems like I played the Atari more. Probably because of instant gratification rather than a lot of loading screens.
Now that this discussion is going on, I think if I had access to that many rabbit pellets I’d have to try them. A plastic sheet or tarp in the sun and breeze would probably dry them pretty quickly.
When we have grass/wildfires around here, special efforts and attention are given to cow chips near the edge of the burn. They can smolder for a couple days and are often the cause of a flare up if the wind picks up.
