Briddlesford Veal




Over the last three months we have been raising 3 veal calves for meat sales in the shop. These calves have been raised to the highest possible welfare standards, happily living in a straw bedded barn, they have been fed by their mother twice a day. The calves are pictured.

There is so much misunderstanding about the raising of veal calves with stories of calves being kept in crates with no room to move and no light, this practise has been banned in this country for at least 25 years.

Veal is a beautiful, tender meat and we hope you will be pleased to try it once it is on sale in the shop.

The calves opposite our shop are not veal calves, they are dairy calves and all being well they will live a long and happy life here on this farm!
