What is Fodder Beet
Fodder beet is a traditional winter feed for livestock, whether lifted and clamped (stored in a weatherproof pile for want of a better term) for feeding to winter house stock or grazed in the field. High energy, yes, but still needs to be fed as part of a balanced diet due to having low levels of protein, fibre, and necessary minerals to keep stock healthy and thriving.
