Effect of browsing on turnips and radishes

Will turnips and radishes continue to grow after being browsed by deer. I see a significant difference inside and outside of the exclusion cage.
 
If they take a bite out of the leaf it'll keep growing but otherwise no. While young, once the top/leaves get lopped off at the stem that plant is done. If there's a developed turnip or radish, it'll remain.
