is this manure right?

I was walking by a building that had a bunch of bags of sheep manure. I wanted to know if this is the right kind I would use. Nitrogen 0.5 Phosphoric Acid(K2O)0.5 Minimum Organic Matter %15 Maximum Moisture %50.....Does this sound about right?

Yes, just make sure to apply lots of lotion to your skin before you roll in it.

For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

you can try sterilizing anything instead of pasteurizing, but youre loosing so many beneficials
itd be like pouring a bunch of chemy fertilizers in your organic soils
is that sheep shit ready in bags? for gardening etc?
if so, its probably got a million other things in it besides sheep shit
give it a shot...
if i were you id definitely add verm,and fine coco. maybe even a little perlite, depending on the consistency of da shit when moistened
what are you going to spawn to it?

it said the maximum moisture would be %50 so I guess thats around how much it could hold.

does not compute sorry my man i speak with my hands and hear with my eyes if youve felt a perfect substrate before, youd know how it needs to feel, no matter the substrate. sheep shit sounds iffy to me, but when i dont have horse poo i start looking at rabbit and deer and goat poo  thats some nice shit. horse manure is top shelf! get it at all costs, and most likely its not going to cost you a dime. just ask around farms, or check craigslist, for manure.

dont waste your money on it! find some good manure, or use coco coir
with either of these as a base, its very easy to mix in amendments that add body/airation, water retention, food, and structure. using both combined as a base is favorite 
when i added perlite to substrate it seemed like every piece of perlite was connected to its own strand of mycelium.
so imagine you have some store bought powdery silty shit, its going to paste together like mud unless you add a ton of amendments...which...you could grow the mushrooms on the amendments w/o the sheep shit

so coir is it a nutrient rich substance or is it something thats nutrient free like verm? or do you not know the answer? just checking cause I'll have to post that question otherwise

you could search the answer before posting a question
maybe my search function needs to be updated
i only tried...once
but it evidently has some nutrient, because the mycelium has to be consuming something other than just water right? or theyd be growing in wata! ya!?
theres been a lot of discussion over whether or not vermiculite even has some subsance to it. some sort of nutrient, or consumable organic matter. i dont know what if any final say came of that. maybe get us riled up and ask for some proof showing, of both, if they're nutrient/nutrient less and some "facts"

Vermiculite is a mineral. Mycelium will colonize it as long as there's enough nutrients around it, because the mycelium will extend out looking for more nutrients. It cannot use vermiculite for energy, but can use the water stored in the vermiculite. It's possible it may be able to use the mineral itself for some function, similar to adding gypsum to a substrate.
Coir is nutritious for mycelium, it has cellulose and other compounds that mycelium consumes and uses for energy. It is not as calorie-dense as grain, grain flours, compost or manure.
