How does flesh of a calf change as it gets older?

Muscle fibers in a calf grow in size and lengthen as the bones grow and develop. What a calf eats also determines the fleshing ability of a calf; a calf that is fed good quality milk and good forage is one that is more fatter, or has internal fat in with the muscle tissue as well as some external adipose tissue. Such a calf also tends to grow bigger than one that has been fed low quality forage and hasn't had much or very good quality milk. Such a calf tends to be thinner, leaner, and more ranky than a "soggy" calf.
