A fatted calf is a reference to a calf that has been given a special diet to increase the weight of the animal. In some cases the animal has been tethered so it does not get any kind of exercise which helps the calf gain weight faster and keeps the meat tender.

A fatted calf is a calf that has been put on more weight than it normally would have. They are actually healthier and live longer. To make a fat calf, you will have to feed it twice the amount that you feed it now. Also, feed it more greens and other veggies.
