southern MN | I prefer turnips for grazing. They can get the whole bulb, as it grows at the soil surface as a round ball, not like a carrot half under ground. They like the leaf, and the bulb. At first they won't know what they are, it takes a day for them to figure it out.
I do things a little different, I plant them in spring with the oats - like alfalfa. (Don't do that with radish...) if you search my name and 'turnip' over the past 3 years, you'll find lots of pics.
Planting them now, with a little something else like oats, should work great. Pure turnip makes a lot of slobber at both ends, getting some sort of a grass for them to eat at the same time is a good thing.
