[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6850322, member: 348"] I’ve never grazed ewes & lambs on brassicas, but have had stubble turnips bolting to flower before now. The stems rapidly go woody & indigestible, so I’ve always banged sheep over the whole lot when they’ve started to bolt. Unsurprisingly they have always taken the growing shoots out first, which holds the bolting back, but the turnips kept putting new growth up, which produces a mass of high protein feed. If you strip graze it, the later grazed sections will be well away, woody and indigestible. [/QUOTE]
