Rabbit meat has hardly any cholesterol or fat content. It is one of the few meats that will not hurt you. Also the ratio of rabbit meat per pound compared to the food they consume is much higher than cattle. The main problem is the processing of the meat which is labor intensive.

However, I plan to start raising the little bunnies next year and expand locally. Do a little research on it, you might be surprised what you find.

Also the ratio of rabbit meat per pound compared to the food they consume is much higher than cattle.

If my memory serves me right:

Cattle: 4 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.

Hogs: 3 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.

Poultry:2 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.

Fish: 1.5 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.

What is the ratio for rabbit?
