[QUOTE="An Gof, post: 7089726, member: 300"] Your problem won’t be just space but freezing capacity. Most domestic freezers don’t cope with much more than 18-20kg of fresh meat at a time in their recommendation. I just had a bullock killed, was a little smaller than yours and we were fortunate to split it between 3 deepfreezers. Even then we had to move the meat around after 24 hours to ensure it was all freezing. As this was an unexpected beast for us I had to buy a new extra freezer as well. Bought a Liebherr freezer as they are the best spec. If both your 300L freezers are empty you should have enough space but watch the freezing capacity. As a rule of thumb I was told by my butcher to take LW x KO% x 2/3 for an estimate of final quantity. [/QUOTE]
