Anyone used it with cattle? We have show calves on shavings and need a spreader, but I am not sure how well this style will work with cow poo.

I used mine for horses but when I clean my outside pens where there aren't shavings and its piled deep I have trouble with that wetter stuff clogging up in the spreader. So I would worry a little that the cow patties might do the same.

Allowed to "dry" a bit, works fine...We use in a combination horse/cattle situation and have no problems...

I originally used a small handheld spreader from Amazon...it is red, but I don't remember the brand but was the best seller. It worked OK. I found it easiest to put on a nitrile glove and spread by hand. Keep in mind this stuff will kill everything and you want to deploy it very tactically.

The Miracle Gro Lawn food is in granules and no I don't think a spreader is a good idea because the pouches it comes in isn't very much. You could spread it with your hands though, say in a 20x20ft space and then saturate with water to dissolve the granules. I use Miracle Gro plant food that way.

My seeder has been pretty free with seed and hard to adjust. It is good for putting out bigger seeds at a high rate (oats or wheat at 100 lbs / acre). If I were putting out tiny seeds like clover or lespedeza, I would mix the seeds with something else (fertilizer, large seeds, even sand) to spread them out more.Also, this is a drop seeder, not a broadcast seeder. The seeds fall directly under the tool so you have to drive over every bit of the area to get full coverage.

I have four using it with no problem. Did put an external run on it for them. I like spoil my animals.

It did not seem to work terribly well for me, but I saw other posts saying it did. The cost isn't too much so if you can afford it, I'd give it a whirl. My vet told me to get those little film canisters (from rolls) and drill holes in them, put a cotton ball inside and saturate it with the product. I put them around the perimeter of the house and sprayed as well. I think the hope is, in the containers, the product will last longer as the rain won't rinse it away. I had pretty good luck with the Scare Crow motion sensor outdoor sprinkler if you'd like to try that. Good luck and God's blessings!

If the feces is above surface level it actually gets just above the surface quite well. Because I was picking up with dirt, leaves, and sticks on the ground. Although a rake and scoop pan might be the.Perfect partner to this with pea rock in the equation.

Claudia this is only for spreading seed. To be exact grass seed, clover etc.Manure you need something like the ABI Classic Manure Spreader which I purchased my wife the 50 model.Manure has to be chopped up or it can burn your grass.

I have the same problem, but I would NOT recommend you putting shampoo in this product. I use this product for my "cow-lick/bedhead" not for cleansing my hear.

I don't know why not. It might not spread it as fine as a fertilizer spreader, but the only material I find that it has problems with is hay and only if there is too much of it mixed in with the manure and bedding. Are you spreading bagged top soil or bulk? I'm thinking the bulk could have some lumps that wouldn't break down well. It's an incredibly well made and handy piece of equipment and absolutely worth the money. I love it!

just like flower spread it think like a dusting. you could always use a flower sifter but even that's heavy.my use was to keep any fleas off of my bedding. just not sure how safe it is as its a dust and if it gets into animals lungs it maybe be fatal. (eve yours) they use to use rice hulls to dry up oil then found it gets in lungs and YOU Die

I suggest avoiding stones of any size in the spreader. Pea gravel might fall through, but the goal is to only place soft organic matter in the spreader.

I just used a handheld spreader. It throws about a 6' wide swath which was more that wide enough to cover my flower beds, which is where I used it.

I know this spreader works well with materials that are granular in nature. It certainly would not work with a liquid or a light powder/dust. I don't know what form your herbicide is in. Drop spreaders or sprayers are the other options for spreading different forms of material. Hope that helps.

My opinion: because it doesn't work. I tried this on my dog's urine (what I bought it for), water, vinegar, OJ... got the same result every time: nothing .

No. Commercial fertilizer in granular form or seed is all this will spread. Northern tools offers a small manure spreader.

I am not certain, but dogs are mammals like us, so I don't know why the enzymes and bacteria you use would not break down dog doo just as well as human poo. Ask your vet? Ask your local septic dude? You will be putting a little dirt and grass in with each deposit, so mention that to the septic guy as well. If it was me, I would expect it to work without messing up your tank, but I'm no expert, and I don't have a septic tank.
