Veal is the meat from a young calve aged around 6-8 months.
Veal meat mostly comes from bull calves born to dairy cows which are not required for the dairy herd.
There has been controversy in veal-raising methods over the years but strict legislation is now in place, and crating used to house young calves has been illegal in the UK since 1990.
The animal welfare standards at New Moor Farm are much higher than those required by EU legislation. At New Moor the calves are group housed allowing them to freely move around and socialise and interact with other calves.
Calves for veal are suckled by their mothers, their diet consists of milk in the first few weeks followed by natural food (roughage) and water. They are reared in open housing with natural light and straw bedding and live outdoors in the summer.
The 'Good Veal Campaign' avoids calves shot at birth or exported to the continent for inhumane white veal production.
'Rose Veal' is veal meat for the conscientious carnivore.
