VEAL AND CALF CARCASSES

53.107 Differentiation between veal and calf carcasses. Differentiation be tween veal and calf carcasses is made primarily on the basis of the color of the lean, although factors such as texture of lean, character of fat, size and color of the rib bones, and carcass weight are also considered. Typical veal carcasses have a grayish pink color of lean that is very smooth and velvety in texture. They also have a slightly soft, pliable char acter of fat and narrow, very red rib bones, and weigh less than 100 pounds.
By contrast, typical calf carcasses have a distinctly reddish color of lean, a harder, flakier type of fat and somewhat wider rib bones with less pronounced evidences of red color, and weigh more than 150 pounds.
53.108 Classes of veal and calf car casses. Class determination is based on the apparent sex condition of the animal at time of slaughter. Hence, there are three classes of veal and calf carcasses steers, heifers, and bulls. While recog nition may sometimes be given to these different classes on the market, especially in the case of calf carcasses that are ap proaching beef in maturity, the dif ferences between the various classes are so slight that accurate description of them is impractical. Therefore, the grade standards which follow are equally applicable to all classes of veal and calf carcasses.
53.109 Application of standards.
a Veal and calf carcasses are graded on a composite evaluation of three gen eral grade factorsconformation, finish, and quality These factors are con cerned with the proportions of the vari ous wholesale cuts In the carcass, the proportions of fat, lean, and bone in the Continued on p. 2209
