Manure ? for JR
JR help me out please. Recenly a person wrote a letter to the editor of the local newspaper stating the algae in Lake Erie is due to cows emitting 125# of manure daily. I found that figure astounding, is it true?

I assume they are talking dairy cows. If so yeas that is a very close number. Most of my cows are eating around 115 pounds as fed today. So if it goes in it's gotta come out!
As to the algea thingy I find that suspect. With as many municipalities having money trouble anymore it could be they are not doing as good a job of treating sewage.
