When I took my nursery course I was told that Steer Manure could 
contain more than 10% salt because they use it at the feed lots to  
bulk up the cattle.

1 cubic foot of SM is on sale this weekend at $.59. It is being 
advertised as a fertilizer and has practically no value as fertilizer. It 
is a great way of adding organic materials to your garden if you can 
rototill or dig it in and water it enough times to leech the salt out of 
your soil. If you have clay soils and poor drainage find another 
organic material.
