Unless done properly cows will die.

Initially you need to aim to get all cows actually eating beet. This can start by lifting bulbs and splitting and feeding in the paddock.

It is best to start transition when they are still in milk and by putting them on the crop post milking when they are hungry.

They need a long face with 1m per cow. If the mob is too big split the mob.

Start at 1 kg per cow. Remember the total tonnage per Ha is the kg per square meter value. Half of this value is on the face as there are two rows making up a square meter. eg 30T crop has 3kg per square meter and 1.5kg per meter of face.

Once all cows are eating beet up rate by 1 kg every 3 days.
