Bob – there’s a downside to having a vivid imagination, I find
Andy – glad to be of service
Emma – you’re made of sterner stuff than I am, evidently

Your obvious literary prowess is being amply demonstrated today. Although, it perhaps could be argued that you’re just a wee bit too caught up in the delights of shovelling it. Could go either way.
For my part, any memories of shovelling this sort of cr*p is in no way associated with the delights of chocolate pudding. It was the real thing, and I was way too young and too small to be loading a manure spreader with nothing but a pitch fork. (the type with five tines, as opposed to the three tined hay variety.)
It was only in later years that I was introduced to this thing called a “front end loader”, a clever grunt saving device that was attached to the front end of a tractor. Hazzah! What an invention!
Have fun with that barrow. Remember to unload from the high side.
