It's calf meat.
They bleed the calf before they kill it (not once but many times) to keep the meat white.
veal is deer. ewwwwwwwwwww!!!
that tells you a bit
It's the meat off of a Baby Male cow calf (pardon the bad English). Lauren meat from a Deer is Venison and that is tasty (sorry to the veggies)
veal is the meat of calves and is usually male.it is very tender and delicate.a lot of people wont eat it because they think it is substandard to regular beef when actually it is superior
Baby cow that has been kept in a tiny cage so small, that the calf cannot turn around. It is terribly cruel, I would NEVER eat veal.
Q: Where does veal come from?
A. Veal is a nutritious and nutrient-rich meat that is produced from the male offspring of dairy cows. Dairy cows give birth once a year in order to continue producing milk. While female offspring serve as dairy replacement animals, male calves had little value to the dairy farmer prior to the establishment of milk-fed veal farming.
Q: How long does a veal calf stay with the dairy cow? When and why are calves separated from the cow?
A. Both male and female offspring of dairy cows are normally removed from cows soon after giving birth. This separation allows dairy cows to return to the herd and produce milk for human consumption. While calves are not with the dairy cow following birth, they still receive her colostrum, or first milk, within 24 hours. Full of antibodies and essential nutrients, colostrum gives the calves' immune systems a healthy boost. Early separation also allows the dairy farmer to measure the amount of colostrum the calf receives, within the proper time frame.
In addition, certain udder diseases in cows and intestinal problems in calves can be more effectively controlled with early separation. Also, the much smaller calf could be physically injured and face health challenges by remaining within the herd of much larger, mature cows.
Q: How big are veal calves when they are marketed?
A. Typically, veal farmers buy surplus dairy bull calves at about 100-120 pounds and raise them for approximately 18-20 weeks, until they weigh upward of 475-500 pounds.
Q: What does milk-fed mean?
A. Milk-fed, special-fed and formula-fed are names given to nutritionally balanced milk protein based diets used in veal farming. These diets contain iron and 40 other essential nutrients including proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Conceptually, the milk-based diet is very similar to infant formula.
Q: How are veal calves housed?
A. Milk-fed veal calves are housed in a well-lit barn, allowing family veal farmers to easily monitor calves for changes in health, behavior and eating patterns.
Modern veal housing is designed to partition the animals only up to the shoulder level, ensuring calves visual and physical interactions with their neighbors. Calves are also tethered which allows farmers to gently and safely handle calves for purposes of contact, feeding, treatment and sanitizing, while also reducing the risk of calves harming themselves and each other. Calves can comfortably lie down in natural positions, stand up and groom themselves. This type of housing and tethering allows animals to receive their own feed, individual care and attention. Most importantly, individual housing has been shown to help prevent the spread of disease by limiting calf-to-calf contact while allowing socialization.
Q: How are veal barns ventilated?
A. A climate controlled ventilation system is monitored through the use of fans, inlets and controls. Ventilation systems affect air temperature, moisture level and condensation on surfaces, air speed, odor and gas concentrations, and dust levels. As the ventilating system exchanges air, it brings in oxygen to sustain life.
Heat is supplied during cold weather to maintain the desired environment for veal production, which is less stressful to the calf than a widely varying environment. During the first one to two weeks after birth, barn temperature of 60°F to 70°F is desired to help alleviate stress from the calves'. As calves grow and mature, room temperature is dropped to 55°F by four weeks of age.
Q: Are veal calves healthy?
A. Veal producers carefully watch each calf to be sure it is not suffering any clinical symptoms of anemia, such as weakness or loss of appetite. Calves must receive diets with iron to meet the animals' requirements for normal health and behavior. A calf that does not eat will not grow.
Q: Why is veal meat light in color?
A. The light meat results from the age of the calf and the level of myoglobin (iron content) in the muscle. Myoglobin produces a red pigment that affects the color of the meat. To keep the meat light, without harming calf health, the amount of iron a calf receives is controlled through a nutritionally balanced milk-based diet and monitored on a regular basis.
Q: Do veal calves routinely receive antibiotics?
A. The only time that veal calves receive "therapeutic" doses of antibiotics (levels high enough to treat illness) is when they are sick and recommended by a veterinarian. As soon as the animal recovers, the use of therapeutic medication is discontinued.
Q: What percentage of veal is government inspected?
A. Federal regulation dictates that each and every food-producing animal marketed, including veal calves, be visually inspected for signs of disease and other food safety concerns. If visual inspection shows a potential problem, the meat is held and tested. If any of these tests show violation for residue, the meat never reaches the food supply.
you can prepare veal a number of ways. veal is from a milk-fed, calf that is not allowed to roam, so no real muscle develops.
Veal is beef.young calf.
Veal is the meat of a calf (baby cow)
baby cows kill one chop it up slice it and eat it yum yum
I don't know how sensitive you are so let me just tell you it's very young beef. If you want to know more, then say so.
Veal is the meat of calves, specifically the male offspring of dairy cattle, and is appreciated for its delicate taste, tender texture and nutritious qualities. Dairy cows must give birth annually to continue producing milk naturally, but male dairy calves are of little value to dairy farmers except as meat.
It is very yummy. Thank you mommy cows for your yummy babies!!
you don't want to know!
young calves are kept in dark, their throats cut to kill them and keep meat light coloured
Veal is not deer.
Veal is the meat of calves, specifically the male offspring of dairy cattle, and is appreciated for its delicate taste, tender texture and nutritious qualities. Dairy cows must give birth annually to continue producing milk naturally, but male dairy calves are of little value to dairy farmers except as meat. Veal is often associated with Italian, French, and German cuisines, as well as cuisines of other middle-European countries. North American consumers tend to prepare veal for special occasions only.
There are three types of veal: "Bob" veal (calves slaughtered when only a few days old), formula-fed veal, and nonformula-fed veal or "red veal". Nonformula-fed veal calves are given grain, hay, or other solid food in addition to milk. Formula-fed (or "milk-fed") veal calves are raised in confinement on a solely liquid diet. The humane movement is most concerned with this group. The consumption of veal is an important part of the Italian and French diets, and the ancient part of these cultures. Due to the toughness of nonformula-fed veal, these groups are unlikely see it as a substitute. Julia Child remarked in her The Way to Cook that nonformula-fed veal ought to be called calf.
veal is made by killing baby cows
They take a baby cow..cut it's thoat, hang it and let the blood drip out of it until it's dead.
Veal is made from very young baby cows, they have their movement restricted to limit muscle build up (generally they're kept in a very small cage), and keep their meat tender. I don't think the colour is relevant. It's not a politically correct meat, and many butchers don't stock it anymore.
Venison is made from Deer meat.
Veal is deer meat!
It's not very tastey but I would always tell someone to try anything at least once!
You don't want to know, because the answer would shock you.
Just the facts: Veal comes from a calf, a baby cow. Shortly after birth the calf and cow are separated so that the mother will keep producing milk for dairy. The calves are placed in a small crate or cage-type thing and fed an amenia-inducing diet. The lack of movement and oxygen to the muscles causes them to atrophy, making them soft and more palatable when the baby cow is slaughtered and butchered.
Veal is the meat of a baby baby cow. The farmers don't allow it to exercise in order for the muscles not to get tough and the 'veal' to be really soft when cooked.
Veal is to beef what lamb is to mutton! Basically it is calf meat, sometimes it is made to be more tender and white by the calf being reared confined in a dark crate - if you want to order veal, and you care how the animals we eat are cared for, you need to check that it is non-crated veal. Non-crated veal is just like lamb, they merely slaughter the animal younger.
get 1 calf take it away any light slit its throat and slice nice meat but
Veal is a baby cow - a calf. It's usually never allowed to move around, so the muscles don't develop and the meat stays tender. For this reason, many people refuse to eat it, believing that inhumane treatment should not be supported.
Oh, and whoever said veal is deer - wrong. Deer meat is called venison. Nothing in common with veal, except they're both meat, and both start with "v."
Its a baby cow that is chained up to the end of its life till it is slaghtered and killed Its basicly slaugtered baby cow
calves that are enclosed in small pens where they cant move around so their meat can stay tender, very inhuman conditions.
