Thread: Re-freezing meat?

Sorry admins, wasn’t sure where to put this. Maybe we need a section for butchery?

I knocked over a couple of deer the other week. We quartered them out and hung everything in pillowcases in a cool spot for a few days. A mate kindly took it all home and put it in his freezer, as I wasn’t going straight home.

Now I’ve got it all back at my place, but it’s still in whole fore and hindquarters.

I have an old fridge I use for ageing meat that I can thaw it out in, but once processed, can I re-freeze it? Even if I do one leg at a time, we won’t go through that amount of meat before it spoils.

I always thought that was a no-no though.
