Thats called CHAR, you inbred Savage!
People pay extra for that.
The cardboard and gasoline starter is an acquired taste though, not gonna lie.
The problem I see with those instead of upright is you can't see exactly what you have without digging to the bottom. IMO too much stuff will end up buried. Assuming you add food to the freezer, what is on the bottom will be forgotten and end up with freezer burn by the time you dig for it. You'd have to remove everything, add new meats to the bottom, then add back in the older meat to put it on top.
I have used vertical cardboard dividers to divide chest freezer into different compartments/meat cuts
Stand up Freezer is easier to see obviously

There isn't a side window. What's on the bottom is on the bottom, whether in crates or not. You'd have to remove everything on top to get to the bottom, then pull out everything in the crates on the bottom to see what's buried. To each their own, but upright seems much more efficient so nothing is forgotten until it's too late.

Same. I prefer that.. Its my dream to have the American Wagyu of Lamb and sell it. Am I a rancher? Fuck no, but can learn and definitely hire the right people for the job.
Same here.
Need to acquire the land to do such a thing.
I'm in a good location but lacking the disposable income currently.
Looking at Wyoming for it. May be too cold for them though. Maybe northern Nevada in Winnemucca area.
Would love to check out those areas. Water and Cold would probably be the main issues?
Tons of livestock in my valley in Oregon, I just need a few acres(or a couple dozen).
I love Burns area of Oregon. We stop there to and from Seattle.. Love it there. Wish they joined Nevada instead of the idaho shit they chose.
Scottish highland are good in the cold and pretty docile. Plus they look bad ass.
A neighbor runs them, prehistoric lookingScottish highland are good in the cold and pretty docile. Plus they look bad ass.
Yeah, we have a farm local that breeds them, when we raise our next batch I think I am going with them instead of the mini dexters.
