Western Veal
Our Western veal is frequently chosen
for its delicate flavor, tender texture and its thick, juicy
meat.
Bobby Veal
About fifteen percent of veal calves
are marketed up to 3 weeks of age or at a weight of 150
pounds. These are called Bob or Bobby Calves, which are
characterized by their light-pink color and soft texture.
Bobby veal calves are the youngest and are thought to have
the smoothest flavors and textures.
Formula Fed Veal
The majority of veal calves are "special-fed" on
a diet of nutritionally balanced milk (or soy milk). A
veal calf is raised until about 16 to 18 weeks of age,
weighing up to 450 pounds. They are raised in specially
designed facilities where they can be cared for and closely
monitored.
Excpetionally consistent in flavor
and texture, this european-style meat contains iron and
40 other essential nutrients, including amino acids, carbohydrates,
minerals, and vitamins. |
