It's not often the English comes out longer than the Spainsh, but there you go:

La edad de la carne, según el contexto, es el tiempo que lleva lista para ser servida, o bien, la edad del animal.

Depending on context, the age of the meat will either be the time it takes to prepare it for consumption, or the actual age of the animal.
