I find that breeding boars very early (pre-Eikthyr) gives you a good boost in things requiring leather scrap, and is very useful on a multi-player server. But yeah, once you get to mid-to-late Bronze age, you're swimming in more meat than you'll ever need (if you keep at the breeding and/or are lucky enough to get starred pigs).

Wolves I could totally understand (again, especially on a multi-player server). Moreso if you're a coward like me that stays away from the Mountains at night. It's not the pelts or meat that's the issue, but trophies can be a bit rare with five or six players all wanting silver armor.

Lox breeding just isn't worth the hassle at all. You'll get more meat and hides than you'll need just looking for black metal and totems.

(And chickens, of course, are very worth it.)
