Yes no bother to them as its soft enough for them. All depends on how you plan to feed it to them. Have found that they will pull it onto slats if you leave the leaves on them.

Have been strip grazing it for cows for years.

Uncle has cows, yearlings and stores strip grazing his.

You need to balance out the diet with with plenty of roughage but great feeding in it. Do you know the type of beet?
