    Grazing Turnips and Radishes

    Anybody have any experience with this as a winter grazing option? Planning to notill it into hybrid sudan grass next week and see what happens it will grow until 18 degrees F. Sudan will grow back until first frost. Then I plan to turn out critters to graze it down. Jeff
