1863 J. B. Leno Female Labour 2 We are happy to be able to proclaim that the hiring of women for muck-spreading or the use of the spade has never become a national custom on this side of the Tweed.

1903 Eng. Dial. Dict. IV. 187/1 [Nottinghamshire] A farmer on being asked in Court when the event occurred, said, ‘It wor abaout three weeks afore muck spreading.’

1948 Brit. Birds 41 358 This is paralleled by the Faeroe farmers' belief that muck-spreading should be completed before the coming of the White Wagtail.

2000 Daily Tel. 11 Aug. 25/5 An urbanite [would] demand..no mud on the lanes, no cockerels crowing at dawn, and certainly no smell during muck-spreading.
