I've never heard of organic, rgassfed veal. Veal, by definition, is always factory-farmed, at least in Europe. There are som disgusting stories told of how veal is raised, even worse than what happens to grainfed cattle slaughtered at adulthood.
Most veal is pasty colored and totally flavorless due to that. You know the typical modern person, all they want to taste is spices anyway, all they can with their damaged taste buds.
I see calves a few times per week. They look healthy and nurse from their moms in the grass. The farm family who has them claims they never kill or sell the calves. That's hard for me to believe as they would over populate. As far as I can see though, as long as I've known them, they haven't slaughtered one.
Calves can eat some grass pretty early in comparison how long it takes from a human to supplement with other foods than milks. I actually have seen grassfed veal, and it's red! I was pretty surprised.
I grew up in my younger childhood years with anemic veal. Grew up with it, but didn't eat it. It was tough, gray, totally unappealing to me, so I found ways to sneak it away so my family would think I ate it, and give it to someone who would eat it.
