Baby cow meat is called Veal which is the meat from a calf or young beef animal.

Veal calf are raised to around 16 to 18 weeks of age and weigh up to 450 lbs.

Veal is the meat of calves, in contrast to the beef from older cattle.

Veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed; however, most veal comes from young male calves of dairy breeds which are not used for breeding.

Generally, veal is more expensive by weight than beef from older cattle.

Veal is meat that comes from young calves, typically between 1 and 3 months old.

The meat is pale pink in color and has a delicate, mild flavor.

Some people describe the taste as similar to beef, but with a more subtle flavor and a slightly sweeter taste.
