- Years ago when cattle were a a very bad price the people in Ireland used to rear their own calves. When the calves were fattened they them "Veal" and they killed them. They had enormous big baking ovens for cooking the meat in. There was an old one of these ovens at Austins who lived down the Mullingar road in Ballybohan some years ago. I don't know the name for these ovens but I think it was an Irish name.Annie McKenna,
