Which one is better for my flowers?

Something about a cow's stomach(s), or perhaps its culinary
preferences, makes cow manure less weedy than horse. Both benefit from
composting or aging. Choose old over fresh. And don't step...

If it's properly composted it ain't gonna be weedy. I've even used rabbit
raisens (which is so poorly digested rabbits will eat what they crapped a
second time if they can get at it) & though fresh it would sprout weeds,
composted it does nothing of the sort.

I do realize some people do indeed spread manures streaming fresh & it's
probably not all that dangerous even allowing that there are many
potential unhealthy ramifications. I wouldn't think anyone with a
home-garden they will actually have to smell would use any of it
uncomposted though, unless they have a spike farm & need to feed the
flies.
