   Has anyone ever used rye straw for bedding? I have a chance to pick up some for $.25 per bale. The guy has about 200 bales that are 3 years old. I wanted to use straw because it is probably warmer than anything else, and pound for pound the cheapest.

   You can use it. but it won't be as absorbent as wood shavings, and will be harder to clean up
