It depends how well it is packaged. It can remain good for a year if packaged really good.

I know that most say a few weeks or maybe months, but I have found that nothing spoils in a good working freezer, but it can get freezer burn that ruins the texture.
Last month I was in the mood for corned beef and found one in the back of the freezer from last St Patrick's Day. I took a chance, cooked it and it tasted wonderful.

If you keep any kind of meat in the store package or in freezer bags use it within 3-4 months. Otherwise it starts getting freezer burnt.
If you wrap your meat in freezer paper it will safely last over 6 months. I have kept some for about a year with no problems but it is not the norm.

almost forever. However the taste of the beef suffers if it's there longer then a month or two. Pack it well in aluminum foil then place it in a freezer bag with a zip-loc. Date it and use it as soon as an occassion arises. Fresher is always better but buying in bulk is more cost efficient. Remember FIFO. First In First Out

It depends on the cut of the beef. In your manual for the freezer it should say how long certain things can stay in your freezer. I think mince beef can stay frozen in the freezer for about six or so months.

I would say that the longest that it could stay in the freezer would be up to 30 days. But if it starts to get freezer burn then it will not taste as good.

It depends on how it is packaged. If you have a vacuum sealer it can last over a year. If it is in the package from the grocery store, it'll start getting freezer burn after a month or two.

Normally you say up to a year if it is well frozen, but personally I wouldn't leave there for more than six months.

About a year maybe longer as long as it's not got freezer burn.
