Does anyone here raise rabbits for meat?
I'm not sure my wife is sold on the idea, but after the whole COVID hysteria this year it has opened our eyes to trying to become a little more sustainable. We were kicking ourselves some for getting rid of our chickens last year but fortunately had a freezer full of deer meat that carried us through.
I've been doing some research on raising rabbits for meat, and it seems like a fairly simple/cost efficient operation for substantially adding a lean meat source to our diets. From what I've read, 3 rabbits can produce 150-200# of meat annually.
Still trying to convince my wife that eating rabbits is healthy and they taste good, but she's having trouble with the optics. She's a little more "citified".
