anyone feed them to weaned calf’s say 250-300 kilo? Thinking to grow a few acres this year and wondered about lifting them and feeding to our growing cattle save buying in so much protein possibly? Only a thought and looking for any answers?

I'm sure you can lift them with a Boswell harvester if grown on the flat.

There is a cutting disc to cut the roots. Then a larger lifting disc that run at an angle and from memory throws them onto the cart elevator web.

There is also a rotating topper for Shaw's.

We used to grow ours in drills when we used to grow for the cattle. Used to be a fun job when a youngster. Little 4610 on the neep puller.
Lift them fine on the flat…
Thyregod one is better but doesn’t top them
