Comparing Chest vs Walk-In Freezers For Small Farms: Operating Costs, Storage Space, & Convenience
Which is better for small livestock farm meat storage: chest freezers or walk-in freezers? I measured actual power consumption for our chest freezers and compare it to a walk-in freezer’s consumption, as well as reviewing other pros & cons: space efficiency, reliability, emergency power considerations, ease of use, etc.

Love this dude !!
What brand of chest freezer do you use? Any recommendations? Great videos!
What permits do you need to process and sell your meat at the farmers market?
Hey Pete, Iām thinking about getting a half a beef. Can I ask your opinion what size Chest Freezer do you think I would need for the Beef? 7 Cubic? 10 Cubic? or bigger? What the average amount of weight for a half a beef? Thanks.
