Our local feedlot composts it's manure and packages it under various labels as something that is supposedly good for gardens. I put some in one of my small garden beds, and the plants leaves yellowed and they grew poorly. My brother put some on his whole garden. It ruined his garden.
I have always avoided manure due to the problem with weed seeds. I grow enough of my own without importing other people's weed seed. Now I avoid it due to concerns about antibiotic and pesticide residues in the feed and bedding.
