We did this once (we just bought it from the butcher) and it lasted us and company a loong time! Fun! Enjoy.

We have a freezer that is mostly empty, if you need space.

Wow, that sounds delicious! And it looks like April answered your question for ya. My girlfriend’s family still has a ton of beef in their double chest freezer. I think it’s been there for quite a while, I don’t see them use it very often lol. Don’t waste it like they do!

We receive 1/4 a beef for Christmas every from my inlaws. We have an upright freezer and it takes about a shelf and a half. Last years beef was close to 1100 pounds. If you do not have enough space, you should be pretty close.

sounds like you should call grandma… I can’t wait to hear how long it lasts for your family.

How much freezer space will I need?
Plan on approximately one cubic foot of freezer space for every 15-20 pounds of meat. The interior of a milk crate is slightly more than a cubic foot.

I have no idea how much space you will need, but I’m excited for you!
