Then they mooooovvvvveeeee into the freezer :thumb: I just put a half in my freezer yesterday.
 
Put it in someone elses freezer. A half is the right amount for a year.
 
My last 2 liked to listen to country. Maybe that is why they taste so good? I always play music in the barn after the night time feeding. It helps keep them settled down. See how peaceful they looked right before i shot them in the head!

This may be a little cold...

No room in the big freezers so I fired up a backup and put the side of beef in there.

You should ask your butcher if he can do the vacuum packs. The meat will stay higher quality for longer than the styrofoam trays and plastic wrap.
 
This is a back-hills Pennsylvania mom-n-pop slaughterhouse. Moving from paper wrap to foam/plastic was a recent upgrade. I really don't see them going to vacuum. Mrs. Zoom has a couple of those vacuum thingy's but we don't see the need on meat. There's just too much to do and we go through too much meat.

We've all learned "best practices" for handling meat in the foam/plastic.
- Handle the packages gingerly so you don't rip the plastic (and thus let air in).
- Keep your meat in a deep-freeze (-10 degrees or colder).
- Don't use frost-free freezers
- Keep dedicated freezer(s) for meat (so it's not being opened any more than what's needed to get meat).
- Never put meat in a fridge/freezer combo. This is the worst thing for meat.
