Dn’D Farms purchase the unwanted Holstein bulls from local dairies, to raise for milk-fed veal. Milk-fed veal are by no means “babies,” although the misconception still prevails. It takes 4 1/2 to 5 months to produce premium quality milk-fed veal meat that is lean, succulent, delicate yet tantalizing in flavor, ivory or creamy pink in color and firm yet velvety smooth in texture.

Raising Milk-Fed Veal is a relatively labor intensive and costly production process. Nutrient dense, highly digestible milk formula costs approximately 10 times more than grain and roughage feed for beef. But, the results make the added expense all worthwhile in terms of the premium quality, flavor and texture of the veal meat that is produced. It is also worthwhile in terms of the superior nutritional quality and health benefits that it provides to the veal calves.

Dn’D Farms raises their calves in healthy environments. We would have nothing to gain by doing anything other than what is best for the health and well-being of our calves. In fact, gentle animal care production, maintaining excellent health, avoiding costly sickness and medications, reducing stress, and providing positive human contact are top industry priorities.
