    We have 150 lbs or so of parnsips that are too woody to be of much use for humans but thought the horses might enjoy them. Anyone have experience feeding parsnips to horses? Anything to be aware of? They’ll be more of a small ‘treat’, feeding at the most 3 – 5 per day per horse.

    I know that root cutters/choppers used to be used to make them more palatable and less likely to cause choke. You could also cut them up to lessen the risk of choke.

    Also cattle generally like parsnips too 🙂 just saying!
