Re: Re: Beet Pulp

My guess would be that cut up chunks of beets would be fine as a treat (like
carrots), but don't provide enough energy to be a concentrate feed, nor
enough fiber to be a roughage.  So fine as a goody, but probably not as a
significant part of the ration, given other alternatives. :-)
