Ed,
Raising rabbits is not too hard. Stick with the commercial meat breeds, New Zealands or Californians. To make it easy on yourself do it outside with the cages raised off the ground, that way there are no trays to clean. There is plenty of information on the internet about raising meat rabbits. It is more of an issue of space than time and money.
As far as the numbers go you can expect 4-6 litters a year per doe, these should be 6 kits a litter. One buck per 6 does is a good ratio. Anyway, you get the idea. If you go this route start off small 1.2 and build up. Hope some of this helps.
