Once you get chickens down, rabbits are the most efficient way to produce red meat. Highest amount of protein per dollar spent in feed. I'd look there too.
Yeah I've had others suggest rabbits too, was thinking about that next, my wife wants a mini-cow though. I think rabbit is easier to process, though some say beef is really not that hard.
To sustain a production of beef vs a production of rabbits is very different. I'd say rabbits are easier in that breeding is pretty straightforward. You also don't have to worry about storing 1000lbs of meat at a time.
Just beware of making rabbit a mainstay.
Protein poisoning is when the body takes in too much protein with not enough fat and carbohydrate for a long period of time. Other names for this are “rabbit starvation” or “mal de caribou.” These terms came about to describe only consuming very lean proteins, such as rabbit, without consuming other nutrients.
oh we'll get some pigs for sure, nothing like knowing how your bacon was raised. We are not against fats at all, and bacon grease is always in a mason jar nearby.
