The vast majority of dairy bull calves end up being raised for beef, not
veal. For some breeds of dairy cows like Jerseys (the breed of cow we have)
no bull calves end up as veal.
Most of our bull calves are sold in groups of 2 or 3 to people who wish
to raise them for their own eating. Most of these people use rotational
grazing to rais these calves. A small number are raised as breeding bulls.
