I have a truckload of the stuff sitting out front. It looks like slightly
dried and aged steer manure, I'm not sure how much it's been "composted".
I'm guessing it might be a bit hot and should be used sparingly. Anyone have
experience with this stuff?

There is a bark place down the road that sells mushroom compost and steer
compost. Is this stuff good for the garden? Can I use it like compost and
heap it on the ground around plants and trees?
Take a look at

You probably don't want to use it on anything that you'll be harvesting
in the next three months, if it hasn't been commercially composted, i.e.
done in very large lots to generate the heat needed to kill pathogens.
