From a cursory look, the best animal to keep if you're a ritual magician seems to be large boars, each of which will give you 14 points of energy when sacrificed. Each boar seems to cost approximately $500 (http://www.wildfarming.co.uk/Wild%20Boar/wboar.htm)

Ideally, you'd keep them in another universe with a pocket universe, or your own Pocket Dimension. Of course, if you're not the nomadic type, you could just have them as guardbeasts for your tower, or, in modern surroundings just have a boar farm.

Note that you can extend your Pocket Dimension for about a year with the sacrifice of a single boar and your own energy.
I foresee a villain who has a day job/cover as a butcher of exotic meats...
