Title: Fodder Beet
Post by: Lorenza on November 15, 2016, 09:56:18 am

Hi All.

I am looking to get some fodder beet to feed the sheep over the winter. I am in north wales and would need someone to deliver it! Does anyone know where or who I could buy some from? Willing to pay for delivery. We are about 5 miles from Betws-y-Coed.

Many thanks
Lorenza-Lee

Just a thought, would it be wise to feed the cade lambs fodder beet over the winter to try and fatten them up?

Ask a local farmer or feed store.

Beet can damage teeth in young or very old sheep....
