	According to [http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/filez/Rabbit_info.pdf this guide] (which is packed with useful information), "the New Zealand White rabbit holds the title for being the top breed to raise for meat purposes due to overall practicality for both the processor and the grower, and closely followed by the Californian.
