Self-sufficient cooking oil

[u/constantly_grumbling]

How do you fulfill your cooking oil needs in a self-sufficient manner? Seems like there really isn't an easy way if you want it to be self-sufficient.

• This year I don't have many meat animals
• Vegetable oil is so much gottdamn work
• Butter isn't year-round for me, plus it's a lot of gottdamn work
• I'd rather not rely on bartering for oil since I want it to become a staple and not a luxury

What do you do for your cooking oil? What animals are fattiest, which vegetables produce the best, what tips or tricks have you accumulated along the way?

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free." ~ Utah Phillips

Any tips on which large game animals are the best for fat content?
I trap small game and so far, an adult raccoon has a surprising amount of fat.
