I have seen E Coli O157 mentioned to be wide spread in cattle and
sheep manure (and pig manure who have consumed cattle or sheep
manure). Is O157 found in horse or goat manure as well and as wide
spread as in cattle and sheep? Since I don't have the facilities to
compost with the control needed to be sure to kill pathogens such as
O157 I don't think I should be using any manure from any species in
my small scale composting operation. Thanks
