Veal

Veal refers to the meat from a calf or young beef animal. Male dairy calves are used in the veal industry.

Dairy cows must give birth to continue producing milk, but male dairy calves are of little or no value to the dairy farmer. A small percentage are raised to maturity and used for breeding.
