12 Best Rabbit Breeds for Raising Meat

"It’s been said many times that meat rabbits and goats are a poor prepper’s cows, but I don’t think that mantra is quite right. Don’t get me wrong, cows are great — although they intimidate me a bit, which is insane because I love horses — but not everyone has the space, equipment, or skills to raise and butcher cattle. Meat rabbits (as well as pygmy and Nigerian dwarf goats, for that matter) take up so little space that a smart prepper, not necessarily one with empty pockets, can raise and butcher them. Even an urban prepper probably has enough space to keep a mating pair of meat rabbits in a city apartment."
