Cow's teeth are different from ours. On the top front, cows have a tough pad of skin instead of teeth. They have 8 incisors on the bottom front and 6 strong molars on the top and bottom of each side to grind their food. Cows have a total of 32 teeth.

D C's answer is spot on.
As in horses, there is a big gap between the incisors at the front and the molars at the back -- this makes it tricky to see the back ones in a live animal, and you may just see the toothless jaw between.
Unlike horses, male and female cattle have the same teeth (male horses normally have small canine teeth; females do not).
The tooth layout is pretty much the same in all ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, deer, antelope etc).

NONE of this is normal, and if they don't get it to an emergency vet clinic, the puppy may die! Cow's milk? How about milk replacement powder that they can find at the pet store? This poor pup goes from a despicable negligent breeder to a negligent owner! It's a disgrace! If they won't take it to the vet then YOU should otherwise the pup could die! The poor little baby was too young to leave the mother in the first place!

first ....have you ever saw cow or bull ever in your live? alright, probably not. how 'bout picture? not? pity..pity.. you should see them first and open their mouth to check it yourself. It's easy ... grab a cow/bull by its nose. hold the part between each nose holes, with just to fingers. when you pinch this part the cow/bull will follow you every where ( as long as you still pinch it. or put nose ring trough it and drag them w/ that. sound painfull? it is... for them. that's why it choose to follow you anywhere or else they'll have bad shape nose), other hand then try to open cow's lips, there is part that had no tooth, you can slip your hand from there. then try grab its tongue to prevent from snaping jaws, then you'll see huge molar teeth lining. that's how they chew their meal, which is grass, to produce our daily dose of milk and steak . I guarantee you there are theeth. but beware though ...they have bad breathe and love to do side kicking. happy trying!!!
Note : do it under owner or vet supervision.

Yes they both do, long lines of mollars for chewing and mashing grass to break it down for digestion.
Kind of like our wisdom teeth, a trillion years ago we used to be vegetarians and needed extra mollars to break down the vegetation and that is why we grew them and now we are slowly evolving not to grow them anymore as we no longer need them.

Yea.... but mainly molar type teeth since they only eat hay, they don't need to tear meat like humans do.
