They will eat things like turnip/swede, fodder beet, cabbage.

I have market garden and feed my sheep any spare veg, anything green and leafy that we would eat as well as sweeter treats like parsnips and squashes. I don’ feed leaves of tomatoes and aubergines but I often find them trying to pull the leaves of leeks out of my compost pile.
