The typical calculation for finding how much meat a freezer will hole is: 35-40 Lbs. per Cubic Foot. So 10 Cubic Feet should hold between 350-400 Lbs. However, it depends on the type of meat being stored. For example fatty meats like beef do not shrink as much when frozzen as say Venison or another lean meat does. The fat content of your meat is only a slight factor however. If you are storing a fatty meat you can expect to only lose a pound or two per cubic foot. I usually average it out to 37 1/2 Lbs. per Cubic Foot. I hope that helps.

Meat has an approximate density of 1042 kilograms per cubic meter, which is 65 pounds per cubic foot. A freezer with a capacity of 5.5 cubic feet could therefore store up to 357.5 poundsof meat, about the weight of two average American male adults.

A rule of thumb is one cubic foot of freezer space for each 35-40 pounds of cut and wrapped meat. 308 to 352 LBS depending on shape for 8.8 ft, odd shapes ma take more room.
