So you've decided you want to raise some of your own meat, but what animal should you choose? Many new small farmers, homesteaders, and backyard growers often lean towards raising chickens for meat. After all, they're small, inexpensive, and commonly eaten.
But before you jump in, watch this video! I believe that that rabbits are actually the better meat animal (for most people). Whether you are worried about cost, space, ease of care, sustainability, or prepping - the meat rabbit wins every time.
Thanks so much for watching!
