I live in an NY City suburb.  With some great suggestions from this forum I
found farmers in upstate NY that have exactly what I need and the shipping
charges are reasonable.  In fact, yesterday I spoke to one of them regarding
ordering 1/2 or 1/4 of a carcass.  But it will definitely not fit in my
refrigerator. So I am  thinking of getting a separate freezer, and keeping it
in the basement.  Is any one else doing this?  Any tips in buying a freezer?
How big do you need it to store 1/2 a cow? and is the cost of the freezer
worth it? I guess it would in the long run.

Thanks, Alex
