I'm having a numpty moment

 

[jumptoit]

Mine will eat it but that doesn't say they are meant to!

 

[dawnpetenathshir]

Our two like the leaves and stalk

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Yes, so far as I know ours have eaten it with no problems. BUT we did have a ShireX mare who would take it out of her feed, suck all the mix/sugar beet etc, off it and then spit it out, at any-one who happened to be near her at the time

my mother used to feed my old boy cauli and hes not dead of it (not his favourite thing though he can take it or leave it, bananas though, mmm)

Not really - they are part of the brassica family - like cabbage etc as Nailed said.

I wouldn't give it to mine.

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

Ta folks. Brain is about three steps behind m'self today and I can't remember who I am, never mind what one should or shouldn't.

Think I'll stay away from the neddies today, or who knows where they'll end up

 

[kellyeaton]

i was always told not to they are toxic to horses!

 

[BankEndRescue]

You shouldn't feed any brassicas really as the sulphur levels are too high
