ok to feed cows/pigs cabbage?

I seem to remember that you should NOT feed cabbage to one or the other, is that correct or am I dreaming? I bought a bunch of Walmart $.10 pkg spinach, and it ended up being half cabbage seed, boy am I bummed! I thought the small seeds were premature spinach seeds when I planted them. Now I have rows and rows of cabbage. Can I feed them to the critters? (besides the chickens)

Shouldn't hurt, especially the pigs.

If a human can eat it, so can pigs and cows. Onions in excess are the only vegetable I know of that might give cows a tummy ache. Pigs will eat kraut, too, don't know if cows will.
