Ya know, this brought back a memory from when I was working through
college. I worked in a food store warehouse, and one of my memories is
of taking swinging beef off the hook and plopping the quarters onto
pallets to put into trucks for delivery. One thing I do remember is the
wide variability of the weight and size of those critters. You could
get a fore quarter that was barely 200 pounds, but some of them tipped
the scales at over 260 and it seemed like they almost dragged the
ground. It is a memorable thing to have 260 pounds of beef in a bear
hug and discover you were standing on an ice-on-concrete floor. Kirk Yates wrote: **************************************** Our WebPage!

You'll need about 3 cubic feet of freezer space A quarter of a baby beef is about 95 pounds and takes up about two "boxes" of space or about 3 cubic feet. One concern we often hear is how much storage space is needed for the beef. Typically, a split half of beef will require about four cubic feet of storage space in your freezer, and a half of beef will require about eight cubic feet. |
