Why Raise Meat Rabbits
Rabbits are a great source of meat on the homestead for multiple reasons. They’re a sustainable food source, have a fast harvest date, require minimal care and time investment, have low feed costs, and they’re easy to butcher and process.
Raising rabbits for meat, popular choices include New Zealand Whites, Californians, and Giant Chinchillas. These breeds are known for their rapid growth, large size, and high-quality meat. Other suitable options include Silver Fox, Flemish Giants, and Rex rabbits.
