Does anyone know where I can buy low quality, cheap hay in the DFW area of Texas?
Question:I need 10-20 bales of low quality hay to put along the bottom of the fence that runs around our yard to keep the dogs from digging out. It can be old but needs to be in square bale form so we can line them up end to end around our property where the water has washed out the dirt under the fence. Our dogs keep escaping and it's getting expensive to keep fixing/adding to the fence!! Someone suggested this as a solution. I live in Weatherford, Texas, but would drive to West Ft. Worth or the Weatherford area to get it if needed.

Instead of trying the hay thing...which harbors fleas! If you have any left over fencing from previous repairs, where the dogs are digging lay that fencing actually on the ground and cover it with the dirt. You may also try connecting the fencing to what is already installed, and laying it down on the ground. You have to kind of bury the fencing so the dogs can't dig. The dogs won't be able to dig through the fencing. My brother uses this technique with his hunting dogs.
I would not suggest the hay though, unless you are prepared to spend a lot of money on pest control, rats and mice are also attracted to the hay as well. Take this from a country girl who has spent a lifetime growing hay.
Try www.craigslist.org, type in "Hay". People usually give it away.
I cant help with hay,,,but if you are looking for 20 bales I figure you have about 60 feet of fence<<<close,,,,
have you thought of cattle panels,,,you can lay them flat on ground and tie to fence and even cut them in half,,that way 2 should do your job
this has stopped dogs for me before
anyway,,this is not what you asked and I apologize , hope you corral the dogs

Here is a cheap solution!
You can come to my neighbors yard, cut his 2 foot high grass and bale it up for free. I will personally thank you and you can thank my lazy neighbor!
It's a win-win situation for all if you think about it!!
