[QUOTE="neilo, post: 5834918, member: 348"] Break a few with a spade/wheel to get them started on them, if they've never seen root crops before, otherwise they'll have no problem with eating them whole. All my ewes are grazing beet in situ just now, and the aren't waiting for me to chop any.;) They are a great feed, supplying lots of energy. However, the roots are very low in protein (8-10%?) so the diet will need that balancing from somewhere (good hay will normally only be 8-10% CP too). It's certainly not a magic feed, and I would think the value is certainly questionable at £35/t ex-farm. [/QUOTE]
