What is baby cow meat called?

Meat produced by baby cows is called veal and is typically taken from male dairy calves that have been raised for 20 to 22 weeks. These calves can weigh up to 500 pounds. Veal is generally produced from Holstein breeds of cow.

Veal can come in many varieties, including milk-fed or pasture-raised. Milk-fed veal is produced from calves that have been raised on a special diet of milk or nutritional soy. Pasture-raised calves are fed a wide variety of food, and their meat is sold in units ranging from 151 to 400 pounds. A special type of veal, known as "Bob" veal, is produced from calves that are up to three weeks old.
