> 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
