Had a massive freezer failure on a Friday afternoon in July

The compressor on our main holding unit gave out, and we lost about 300 pounds of primals before we caught it. We had to scramble to move everything to our backup space and call in a rush order for the weekend's custom cuts. What's your backup plan for when the cold chain breaks?

Man, that's brutal. A buddy of mine runs a small smokehouse and his walk-in fridge died on a holiday weekend. He ended up renting a refrigerated truck from a rental place and parked it right out back for three days. Cost him a fortune, but it saved his whole inventory of brisket and ribs.

Had a friend who lost a whole summer's worth of salmon.
