What type of an animal is veal?

Answer 1

By definition any meat coming from a calf who has not yet been weaned is called veal. Calves are separated from their mothers a few days after taking their first few meals (so they can get the anti-body rich colostrum contained in the mother's milk which is produced up to a couple of weeks after birthing) and they are contained in stalls with other baby calves who are only fed milk and grain. This makes their meat lighter in color than adult bovine (cow or steer) flesh and supposedly more tender.

Answer 2

Veal is not an animal, it is a name for the meat that comes from a young bovine (namely a calf that is 3 months of age or less). Most veal is obtained from male dairy calves, no matter if they're bulls or steers.
