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

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

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.
