‘Golden Cow Dung Award’ Presented To Ernest Ward Media Specialist During FFA Breakfast
March 22, 2018
Ernest Ward Middle School media specialist Sherri Stallworth received the tenth annual “Golden Cow Dung Award” from members of the Ernest Ward FFA Wednesday. The award presented during a FFA appreciation breakfast features a large piece of cow dung, painted a golden color and mounted on a board painted in school colors.
Stallworth received the award from the school’s FFA members as a “thank you” for supporting FFA. This is National Agriculture Week.
(Cow dung, in case you did not know, is what you are probably thinking it is. It’s that natural byproduct that cows drop in the field. The award is 100 percent real dung spray painted a golden color. The golden piece presented Thursday is actually the first award piece created and painted nine years ago.)

Cow dung actually has no odor whatsoever once dried and I’m sure this one is particularly dry, since it’s about ten years old and spray painted. The early settlers used dried buffalo dung for camp fires on the Oregon trail. Thousands of miles of prairie and no trees made it necessary to find something to make a fire with. The women and children walked the whole distance, picking up dried dung during the day so they could build a fire to cook over that evening.
So, tonight when you turn that stove on, give a prayer of thanks that you don’t have to haul muddy water from a stream and scout around and find dried dung to cook your supper over!
I know the feeling!!!!!! LOL
What a lovely table centerpiece!
