The disclosure sets forth methods for cattle waste composting and post-composting treatments. The composting includes the steps of forming a windrow of beef cattle manure, adding moisture to the windrow, monitoring the temperature of the windrow, maintaining the moisture content of the windrow and mixing the windrow after a predetermined temperature drop. The windrow is formed in an outdoor environment, preferably without a carbon amendment. During active composting, the moisture content of the organic portion of the windrow is kept within a range of 40% to 65% by weight. Steps of monitoring the temperature, addition moisture, and mixing are repeated until such steps do not create a predetermined significant temperature increase following the step of mixing. The composting is completed by curing. The compost can then be ground and pelletized to be used as a manufactured soil for various applications.
