Veal is meat from a calf. It comes primarily from dairy bull calves that cannot be used as a part of the dairy operation since they, as males, cannot produce milk. Dairy bull calves are fed high concentrate feeds and milk replacer for a few months before being slaughtered at around 4 to 6 months of age.
However, veal can also come from dairy heifer calves, not just bull calves. Quite often there are chances that a heifer calf would be twinned with a bull, which could result in a heifer becoming a freemartin. Freemartins are sterile heifers and also add no value to the dairy herd, similar to a bull calf. They too would be culled along with the bull calves, fed in a similar fashion then slaughtered as veal.
This is a very complex question. I would need to know what, specifically you are asking. The grading of veal is a little more simple than the grading of beef. What do you want to know? Beef is graded by fat content. the higher the Intramuscular fat content(marbeling) the higher the grade. Of the most often seen grades in the supermarket, select is the lowest grade, the leanest. Prime is the highest, the most intramuscular fat. Choice rests in the middle. A new one you may start seeing at the supermarket is upper 2/3 choice meaning higher fat content than the bottom 1/3. Basically, with beef, if you want lower fat and cholesterol than select is where you want to be, but if you want fuller flavor and juiciness than prime is where it is at. Do not trust the grading, that is ambiguous, try them all and decide for yourself which one you prefer. Me i want a fatty piece of meat, because, as a chef I know, fat is flavor.
Beef tenderloin is taken from a fully grown steer or cow while veal tenderloin is from a calf.
Veal is desired for it's tenderness although that particular cut of meat is very tender no matter which you choose.
Another difference would be price, the veal is going to be more expensive.

The difference is veal does not come from sheep

Veal is beef.
A beef carcass is a dead cow; a lamb carcass is a young sheep that is also dead. A dead young cow would be veal.
