They have teeth on the bottom like all bovines, and they're sharp (newborn calves can draw blood)

You determine the age of a cow by "dentition," a rancher looks into its mouth and checks the incisors at the very front. A calf, like a human child, has baby teeth (8) (or "milk teeth") that loosen and fall out. These are whiter and narrower than the adult versions, which only begin to emerge after 15 months. Between 24 and 30 months, a second pair of incisors erupts from the gums. Once these teeth are fully in, the cow is deemed to be at least 30 months old.
