Our humanely raised veal starts at the dairy farm. The calves spend their first few days in bedded pens, where they receive colostrum and are monitored for health and wellbeing before moving to the nursery barn. The calves will then spend about 7 weeks at a nursery barn where they receive milk and grain which provides fiber for rumen development. At around 7 weeks, the calves are moved to a finishing barn where they are raised in groups to promote socialization. The barns have artificial or natural lighting and are heated during cold months with year-round ventilation to provide clean, fresh air. They consume milk and cereal grains such as corn and chopped straw. Our veal is pinker than traditional milk-fed (a.k.a. special-fed veal or formula-fed veal) due to the additional nutrition they receive.
