What are the best meat rabbit breeds?

Answer by  worker35 (20)

There are generally two breeds that are good for meat, the Florida White and the New Zealand. It is best to use rabbits with white fur, thus the Florida Whites, so that if there is a bit of hair that gets stuck to the meat it is not as apparent.

Rabbits are divided into categories, those being "Fryers", "Roasters", and "Stewers". The best rabbit meat would be "mixed breeds". Some excellent choices would be the Californian, Cinnamon, French Lop and Silver Fox.
