all right I'm from Arkansas, and right now the weather condition are absolutely perfect for cubensis...Ok now to the question...Ok This part of Arkansas is known for cubensis and I Have found absolutely tons of cubes here in the past....Ok I have a cow field right next door to me it hasn't been there long maybe a year..before it was a cow field it was a horse field for a long time...How long would it take for this kinda new cow field to start growing cubes???It has tons of different kinds of shrooms growing in it but I haven't seen cubes yet...Shouldn't it start fruiting cubes??my old cow field got tore down and now a house is there sux...

It may or it may not. The answer is not binary. FWIW, cubes also grow from horse shit.

The presence of p cubenesis spores, the right environment and conditions.

Posted while distracted. The thought was, it is not possible to say yes it definitely will or no it definitely will not, given the circumstances. Livestock doesn't produce spores, mushrooms do. All livestock does is consume mushrooms or spores and shit them out to be introduced to the field.
I've heard of a pasture that was converted from horticultural use to livestock, it's been over a year since cattle was introduced to the pasture. The pasture is mowed infrequently and cattle is present more often than not. Conditions are ideal for the species, and despite other fields producing assorted actives in droves, there are still no actives to be found in that particular pasture.

Isn't it obvious that the elves haven't brought in their flock of pixies to dust the field? Tomorrow is the full moon so maybe they will come!

Maybe, the Brown-headed Cowbird does spend a lot of time feeding on the ground in fields and pastures. But it's more likely that livestock are responsible for introducing spores to an area.

I'm sure spores can be and are spread by animals but I would agree that wind is probably the primary reason spores spread. I remember reading an article years ago about certain fungus spores being documented traveling across oceans on wind currents. I'm not sure how it was documented but spores can travel hundreds if not thousands of miles in the right conditions.
I still hold to the pixie theory though

Sure, mushrooms even create their own currents to spread their spores. Spores travel by wind and are carried great distances, this is not a new fact.
Fun fact: In the 1930's, Charles Lindbergh surveyed spores while flying over the Arctic Circle, while working with the USDA.
However, the majority of those spores (spread by wind) will not succeed. That's where livestock is very beneficial in assisting spores to become mushrooms.

You could always help the process along. Next time you find some cubes do a sheet of spore prints and shake them around this pasture. I consider my hunting tactics neolithic. It's mostly hunting, but I do some rudimentary farming too
