How to make a Cow Pie

How to make a Cow Pie
Also known as cow dung, or feces, Cow Pies are the multi functional waste products produced by cows. Some of their many uses include:

  • Flying saucer
  • Cooking fuel (for cookies!)
  • Manure
  • Disgusting your friends and family

In my entry to the pie contest, I'm going to teach you how to bake your very own Cow Pies!

Cow pie has high calories and will burn very hot.It can be used as a replacement for coal or firewood.

On step three, cows happen to have seven ovens in one.
Jul 31, 2008. 3:47 PMthematthatter says:
you can also take them when they are dry and throw them. I used to have a dog that would collect everything, bottles from the side of the road, newspapers (other peoples), and cow pies from the neighbors field. so we always had cow pies in our yard.
