    you are looking at about 736 pounds of meat depending on bone in cuts and burger grind

    1,200 pound cow plus another half 600 pounds = 1,800 pounds live weight.... X .61 dressed weight = 1098 dressed weight..... x .67 packaged weights = 735.66 of cuts

    you are looking at 35 to 40 pounds of beef per cubic foot of freezer space depending on packaging

    so 736 / 35 = 21 cubic feet at a minimum

    of course more bone in cuts, more odd shaped packages and on and on can adjust those numbers
