[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1324694, member: 20580"] It's likely not going to compost much over the winter as you need some heat to help get that going. We pile the wasted hay and manure up from winter feeding and usually after it sits for at least a year it has composted down pretty well. Just have to make sure you have more than mostly hay in the mix. If yours is anything like ours you have plenty of manure and a sloppy mess where the cows were standing around the hay ring when it thaws then gets rained on in the spring. When it's piled up it's inevitable a little bit of the dirt underneath all of it gets mixed in and scooped ups in the pile as well which helps add some "brown" material to the "green" material to help compost it down.
