[Jacob-list] beets ?

[Melody]

Is it the beet greens or the roots that are said to be toxic, or both? 
There are often chemical compounds in one part of a plant that are not 
present in other parts.  I have not heard about this, but would be 
interested to know more.  My goats love their daily ration of shredded beet 
pulp with molasses, (commercially produced) but that doesn't mean it is ok 
for sheep and I have never fed it to my sheep.  Will be interested to know 
the outcome of this--please keep us posted.  Where did you read the 
information originally?
