I've moved your thread from General discussion to Everything Brassicas..............as for moving perennial kale - too many unanswered questions - like what size/age are the plants and how much foliage do they have.
Personally, I've only transplanted kales from pots and buckets into the soil. Otherwise, they're far too well established to consider digging them up and moving them.

They currently reside in a bed that I want to be used for annuals.
I have taken cuttings so am happy to risk losing them if moved.
You live and learn

I would think that as long as you take a big enough rootball with it, and heel it in well there shouldn't be a problem? PS Might be worth staking it until it establishes some new roots.
