                                      and public perception with it. The companies 
                                      are setting new standards in the industry

                                      Ranch are raising the bar for quality and 
                                      humane treatment in veal production, through 
                                      its free range veal practices. With the 
                                      use of these practices, Great West Cattle 
                                      Company is taking the lead in changing public 
                                      perception about veal and bringing back 
                                      the popularity of the fine delicacy. Great

                                      practices differ from widely known practices 
                                      for raising veal. “The U.S. Department 
                                      of Agriculture statistics show over the 
                                      last 3 decades, veal consumption in the 
                                      United States has declined by more than 
                                      80%. The decline is largely due to an increased 
                                      awareness of the inhumane practices of most 
                                      veal producers in America. Great West Cattle 
                                      Company veal is raised naturally without
