An American university once received a $250,000 federal grant to study the characteristics of cow manure. The conclusion of its study: manure is slippery. I think they could have saved the money and just asked a dairy producer. I don’t know the specifics of the study, but we sure don’t need a university study to tell us something we have known for decades: things can get slippery on the farm, especially in the winter.
