Does that matter? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or glib, does it help in any way that it's half water?

It's probably not an accurate comparison, but I don't find any consolation in the fact that a lot of the bulk/weight of cleaning my cat's litter box is water. I don't know if it meaningfully changes anything about the task for a cow though.

its actually 70-90% water. it matters because water is very heavy, and whats left over will be dramatically less after it dries out.

its a large amount of waste, but its not 150lbs of solids

Yeah cow manure is VERY wet.

Compare to horse manure which is relatively dry, easy to shovel.
