I prefer "Heifer Dust."

For the two people who haven't heard it, a (probably fake) garden tale:

Harry Truman was looking out a White House window one fine spring day and
remarked, "Looks like it's time to get the gardeners to spread some manure
on the lawns."
Daughter: "Mommy, can't you get him to say 'fertilizer?' "
Bess: "Honey, it's taken me twenty years to get him to say 'manure!' "

Bovine bingo
Bovine bingo is a traditional rural fundraising game that is often
played at country fetes and summer fairs, usually for fundraising
purposes.
Bovine bingo is not really a form of bingo, but a form of lottery. The
game is set up by marking out a grid of rectangles on an enclosed land
area, such as a paddock or farm field. This is usually done by chalking
lines. The grid cells are then numbered or otherwise identified in some
way, and chances are sold on each cell. A cow (or other livestock
animal) is then let loose within the enclosure. Where the first
"cowflop" (defecation) lands determines the winner. Another popular
variation of this game takes place during parades, usually with horses.
Same rules apply, however.
The game is sometimes controversial because of the stress the animal may
be exposed to.
The game is also known as "Cow Chip Bingo", "Cowpie Bingo", "Fertilizer
Lottery", "Cow Patty Bingo", "Cow Pat Lottery", or "Bossy Bingo."
