How Much Freezer Space Do I Need?
Before your beef share arrives, make sure you’ve got enough freezer space. Here’s a breakdown of how much space you’ll need for each share:
A good rule of thumb is one cubic foot for every 30-35 lbs of frozen meat.
1/4 Beef (80 pounds): Approximately 4 cubic feet
1/2 Beef (160 pounds): Approximately 8 cubic feet
Whole Beef (320 pounds): Approximately 16 cubic feet
To put it in perspective, a standard upright or chest freezer typically ranges from 10 to 25 cubic feet, so make sure you’re prepared to store your premium beef bundle properly.
