Cow manure will depend on what their cattle operation is like. Feed lot manure can be high in salts from all the urine. The stuff I get is mostly composted hay, from the large bales sitting on the ground.

As soon as a cow pie dries in the sun, the dangerous bacteria are largely gone. Settlers used to cook their food over dried dung.
