buying 'sides' of meat

[Cupcake]

If we had a deep freezer we'd do it. But we just dont have the space unfortunately

thanks SS

sherie they do it in all different cuts so we'd just have to spend some time spliting it, will ask her more questions!!

ammaki, we only have a small space under our bench in the laundry that will hold a small freezer, just hope its big enough!

Sweet! That makes it easier. One thing you will have to remember to do if you only have a small freezer is rotate the meat around in there for a few days to make sure it all gets frozen and preferably have it cold as it goes in so your freezer doesn't work so hard. When we do a sheep/beast we will layer it with what we already have in there. Oh and make sure that with the gravy/chuck steak that they dice it for you otherwise it can be hard to tell what it is if you look at a frozen slab of meat and you don't want to use good cuts of meat in a stew accidentally.

will do hun!
otherswise we may pop it infront of the laundry door as we dont use it!

I LOVE it! Nothing better than having a freezer chock full of meat. One thing though if you are going halves with a friend, is make sure that where you are getting it from will do it up so you get a half of everything, otherwise one of you will have all the rump and one will have all the scotch fillet/t-bones etc.

Oh yeah I got burnt with this...we paid the same but somehow ended up with all the stewing steak
