S1E29 Are Meat Rabbits A Good Fit For Your Homestead?
from The Homestead Journey · host Brian Wells
As I recorded this episode, one of the biggest news stories is a potential protein shortage at the grocery store due to processing difficulties a the commercial meat plants due to COVID-19. What can homesteaders do to ensure that they have a constant supply of protein for their families? One answer might be meat rabbits. On this episode we talk about their pros and cons. I share with you our journey (unplanned and poorly executed) into raising them. And I share some of the lessons we learned along the way. I also bring you up to date on what we've been doing here on our homestead this week. I hope this finds you well. Enjoy.BrianArticles referenced in this week's episode.https://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/raising-rabbits/meat-rabbits-zm0z11zmathttps://meatscience.org/docs/default-source/publications-resources/rmc/1981/the-rabbit-as-a-meat-producing-animal.pdf?sfvrsn=2http://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttp://www.youtube.com/c/3BFarmandHomesteadhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/[email protected] the showhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/bloghttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/newsletterhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/supporthttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheHomesteadJourneyhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/[email protected]
