Veal is the meat from a young cow. These animals are raised for six months to a weight of 500 pounds or more. That’s bigger than a pig and older than a turkey at the time of harvest. Above all, it is most important to veal farmers that these animals are raised humanely and with animal well-being in mind. If you have more questions, visit Veal.org to learn more!
ABOUT THE BEEF CHECKOFF: The Beef Checkoff was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The Checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States may retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national Checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.
