The groundhog doesn't matter up here because there are ALWAYS at least 10--12 more weeks of winter.... so I don't sic my sled dogs on him. Isn't the poor thing's fault.

We have a Restaurant food distributor close by that discounts overstock and scratch & dent. We buy cases of long yellow thingy's for $5 each. Big cases. The chickens and pigs tear em up.
Did you know we went there the other day and got this stuff?

DW came up with an idea yesterday that I never thought of. She handed me a baggie containing a frozen chunk of pork fat, skin on, left over from processing when she went halves with a friend on a hog. She said maybe the chickens would like it. We'll find out. @Farmer Connie

Do you even HAVE groundhogs that far north?

The Pennsylvania one comes for a visit sometimes. He won't even get out of his limousine to say hello unless he's wearing his mink skin parka. Something about it being too cold for his old joints.

Probably cheaper anyway by the time you factor in time, fuel usage, and wear & tear on your car/truck.

But i found a new place about 1/3 cheaper and i visited a bunch of other stores, got lumber and dropped off woodburning piece to be sold. So it was worth it.
