freezers?

[Rosalind]

Mostly cell & molec, but I am a jack (jill?) of all trades. Biology undergrad, chem eng grad school, a lot of microbiology and tissue culture in between. I build stuff: cells, proteins, reactors, purification systems, crummy lab equipment bought secondhand, gardens, chicken coops...

Nice! I'm crossing my fingers for the molecular and cellular bio grad school program. My real major is bioengineering.

We have a 7.2 CF freezer and love it. We went in on a small steer last year and also bought a goat...the meat anyway (about 150lbs in steaks, chops, burger, roast etc.) and there was still plenty of room left for bread or veggies. I filled that space with milk jugs full of water. I don't notice it on my electric bill, actually I think my chickens cost more to keep warm.
It cost about $250 for the freezer, but because we can buy in bulk we ultimately save money and it pays for itself.

so how much meat does how big of a freezer hold? E.g. if I wanted to freeze 10 chickens and a quarter of beef, say, what kind of space would I need? Or, Angie you mention how much your freezer holds, does it say how many cu ft it is? (edited to add: oh wait, angie, that WAS cubic feet you quoted - somehoe I read it as degrees F )


Thanks,
