I thought I might be able to either collect dung from the barn or let the cow graze on a field for one fallow clover-filled year. Not possible?

Instead, they improve the fertility of the ground where they’re sent to graze. And by a lot!

Over several years, but yeah they do fertilize the soil.
But i bet it would be faster if you added poo and only plant the +5 flowers.
if turn my grazing lands into fields even if it is nothing but clover it breaks grazing

Sadly my cows can never feast on my delicious clover, the fields are completely fodderless for them. Only extensions of existing fields seem to work. But redoing the fields takes forever, brings back all the weeds and stones and doesn’t seem like a guaranteed fix either. Guess they’re fertilizing my fruit trees now.

Cattle grazing areas will greatly increase the fertility of the land, if you have a large enough piece of land, you can dismantle the farmland for grazing, and then build the previous grazing area into farmland, so that manual rotation of cultivation

But the villagers seem to take about 3 years to prepare a field so I have been reluctant to dismantle them. Besides after the last raid when they took ALL my food, I had no choice but to slaughter the cow. Sigh…

Yeah, tilling another 288 tiles to switch over to, then let the herd graze, then till the 288 tile field again, just for a one time fertility boost - doesn’t sound like an efficient use of my farmers’ time.
