Freezer space guide
One cow, one freezer, a year of beef.
How much freezer you need
A whole animal provides roughly 400 pounds of beef, enough to keep your household stocked for about a year. And yes, it all fits in a 15 cubic foot chest freezer. A half needs about 8 cubic feet.
Keeping beef at its best
Everything is vacuum-sealed and frozen solid at the plant, and keeps at best quality for 12 months.
Not sure yet?
Start with a half, or a box of cuts, and see how it fits your household. Every ranch also sells boxes and single cuts by the pound, so you can build up to a full freezer at your own pace.
