Time to cull some cow's and sell some fodder me thinks.Yes it is but a round bale of silage is near £50 and a 8x4x4 of straw is £130, seen maize silage adverised at £100 ton.
last time I used unwashed I made 20%of herd sick and wasn't even at high levels . washed and chopped here and no problems
But if built up slowly no problem. Cattle on adlib beet will fly.......then they'd fall over and never get up again.
I had a couple break through a double fence two years ago and they never recovered.
Sick with what ?
If there was clay / soil on the beet it must not have been cleaned either. Our beet isn't washed but is cleaned and graded for clods and stones. There is only staining on the beet with no soil.it seemed the clay /soil on the beet didn't agree with them and scoured them for a few days @Only 5kg day can get easily 20kg with it washed and no upsets
That would be the tops rather than the bulb?......then they'd fall over and never get up again.

Not sure about that.
Once they've been on them a few weeks there pretty well aclimatized to them. The poisoning from the tops is basically an induced milk fever and they drop dead very quickly whereas the two I lost were clinical acidosis type symptoms, sh!tting water, no appetite and down, never to get up again within a couple of days.
Thats what it normally is but it aint normal round here.Fodder beet washed and delivered around £30 / ton around here.
