LOL I don't know which is funnier, suggesting they donate a bunch of high dollar beef to a shelter, or the insistence that only grass fed beef is the best.

You can buy grass bed beef temporarily at the grocery store. They all seem to carry it now. It would be more expensive per pound than buying in bulk. but at least you wouldn't risk loosing it all. Then find a new source after you get settled. That's what I would do anyway.

I don't think I'd attempt to move a freezer full of anything. It's heavy enough as it is, without loading it full of perishables and the hassle of dry ice. That being said, if you're set on bringing some of the meat with you, get the dry ice, pack it in small coolers and take it in your car so you can replenish the ice each day. You can get meat at grocery stores or butchers until you find a new supplier.

If you do not open it to check on it, it will be fine inside a moving van.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This just might work. Regular ice will completely melt in a matter of hours.
