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
