my wife is suddenly very interested in this. I think it seems like a good idea too.

I found these guys.

Any pro tips? I didn't want to gunk up the farm thread to much.

We are looking at getting one, this would be a two step process.

Quarter or half cut up how you want. Some of their cows will be on our grass this summer. We've been getting beef from them for years.

Tom, is the meat freezer wrapped? Mine have all been wrapped in butcher paper.

About $80-$100 for the quarter. Lib^7 might have more up-to-date rates.

Nothing says I’m rough ridin' rich like buying half a cow and sticking that bitch in your catillac sized deep freeze.

Is it true that if you don't "use it" you "lose it"?

After 18 months to 2 years, yep. Freezer burn will eventually set in. I've heard some say a year, but I've never had any go bad after a year.

what temperature does “beef” freeze at?

pissclams · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2020, 10:09:20 PM »

i’m looking at new freezers but need to make sure I buy one that gets cold enough

DaBigTrain · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2020, 10:17:33 PM »

I would look at one that gets down to at least 10 kelvin

slackcat · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2020, 10:34:51 PM »

Everyone, just buy a cheap ass freezer that gets down below 0 and call it good. I've eaten nothing but farm raised beef my entire life and can say don't worry.

Or a giant farmhouse built in 1920 meant for 8 people

Back when my farmer grandparents were still farming my dad used to bring back a barrel(?) of frozen beef almost every time we went out there. These were not metal barrels but some sort of rigid cardboard barrel that you would throw a plastic trash bag on the inside then fill it with frozen beef and it would still be semi frozen 6 hrs later when you got back to KC.

Looked like this but instead of a metal top it was a top that was made of the same cardboard material.
