I think that the question is what is the difference in how veal and beef are 
described today as opposed to how they were described during whatever periods 
within the SCAs scope. There is no reason to assume that the same standards 
used now were used then. Even today the age at which a young bovine is 
defined as veal is different in the US than in France.
