Our mule, current steer-in-residence and any of the pasture Heifers LOVE pumpkins of any kind. I'm getting chickens again next Spring and I will specifically plant pumpkins and melons just for them.
The best tasting pumpkin I have grown is the Marina Di Chioggia pumpkin. I roast and freeze hunks for later. Makes great soup. Pretty greenish color and rich taste. Not a carving pumpkin.
As a bonus, chickens love any pumpkin and they last well into winter and beyond for cold weather nutrition.
