Thats it, winter grazing for dairy cows.
Some of the bigger ones are 400+mm above ground plus the same under ground.

:D:D it was, Dundee, it was!!
Yep., we used to pick a couple of truck loads that would then be stored in a concrete bund and I would have to load and feed them out to the deer in the morning before school. Frost sucked because my hands froze, rain was good cos i could do skids on the tractor and get away with it:D
They actually taste really good raw, better than carrots.

Twas divinish, I must say, Rushy!!!
This link to wikipedia suggests that the mangel (wurzel) (I had the spelling wrong) is the one and the same thing...
Mangelwurzel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was the children's job to cut up the mangels...we hated it but of course the sheep loved them!!!
It was the boy child's(me) job to load em on the back of the tractor and feed em out to the deer before getting ready to catch the bus to school, set the throttle on the tractor hop off and walk behind flicking them off the tray and a few quick cuts with a spade.
Deer absolutely love them, must be the high sugar content.
I have been trying to work out what the heck youze are talking about, then realised i asked the question :o
The old farm i used to hunt fallow on used to plant out the back paddock for the deer to eat, well the cows but the deer got their share which helped me get my share of deer! :yuush:
