I’d go with a mix of hybrid rape and stubble turnips.
Economical.

If your grazing in later part of Winter then Maincrop Turnips atm, you could ad a small amount of Hybrid Kale but don't sow to thick , its to early for Stubble Turnips for winter feeding , leave it a few weeks or they may go woody and inpalitable at the end , just spoke to a customer who grows 150 acres for lambs and gave up with Turnips for that reason , he's going to try 30 acre this year but sow a bit later , that's my thoughts anyway
Stubble Turnips will work out cheaper than Rape as the seed rate is lower ,

Plenty of Green Globe about but not popular with some on here ,but then I've spoken to some who grew them last year who were very happy and and are growing them again, mine kept fresh till end of March, don't cost much to grow as seed rate is low

I have Massif.

All my Green Globe growers have jumped ship to Massif in the last few years.
