Milch cows are still not the source for high quality beef. _Steers_,
castrated male cattle, are the source for most steaks, roasts, and chops:
recycled milch cow often never reaches human consumption now. Steers were
also used as beasts of burden (oxen) in period.

Looking at claims made on this list, plus mentions of cattle drives, one
suspects that if beef cattle were eaten as 'veal' up to the age of two
years, we may be working at cross-purposes: period people may well hafve
been eating what we think of as beef but calling it veal.
