Around here it's beef, lamb, chicken, pork, venison, or squirrel. The first three we raise... pork a neighbor raises, and well... The last two we raise also. ;-)
I dislike goats tremendously (both the may and the milk), and rabbit is simply too labor intensive (course so is squirrel which is why those are on the bottom of the list - but I do love squirrel meat). Yum!
I should rephrase my comment however as I normally word that incorrectly... I don't raise quality meat, I raise quality forage and use animals to convert it to quality meat, milk, eggs, and honey. ;-) Quality forage is the key to raising all of them.
