It is all white meat, has lots of protein, and is lower in fat than chicken, or beef or pork. Rabbits are very easy to care for, and the cost is much lower than other meat sources that you can produce on your homestead, such as goat, or chicken  . Rabbits can be raised in your backyard, even in the city!The most common breeds of meat rabbits are New Zealand (Reds and Whites) and Californian.Rabbits don't need much space to be comfortable.Housing for rabbits usually consists of cages or hutches that are up off the ground.  The rabbits need protection from wind and rain and possibly predators.  They will need adequate ventilation as well.
