[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4356964, member: 348"] I have no way of chopping it, and no access to a dung spreader. When I have fed it out, I have reversed down the field trickling it out of a telehandler bucket as I go. Sheep will cope fine with it whole, but might get started on it sooner if you chop/break a few, even if that’s only by driving back over a few once you’ve trickled it out. A telehandler is a lot of weight on narrow wheels, so best kept off the ground if you can. If you have a muck spreader (of any kind) then make use of it. I certainly wouldn’t invest in anything just to chop it though. They are very happy grazing it where it grows in the field, and cleaning up any spilt beet after lifting, so certainly not necessary to chop for sheep. [/QUOTE]
