Abstract
⺠Veal production proved successful and profitable in mountain pastures of northern Spain. ⺠Limousin were heavier with better carcass yield but lower meat acceptability than Tudanca cross. ⺠Tudanca veal had more vaccenic, rumenic and n-3 PUFA and n-6/n-3 ratio than Limousin. ⺠Suckling plus limited concentrate caused a greater 10t-shift in Limousin than in Tudanca calves. ⺠Veal from naturally fed calves provided a nutritionally healthier fat for consumers.
