Can someone explain to me what solid mouth, short-term, broken mouth and running age means. Also how many calf crops could you expect out of each group?
 
There really isn;t any defined ages that go with the mouth conditions. Broken mouth means missing some teeth, could last a month could last a couple of years but you have tofigure she's goingto have a hard time grazing. Solid means all the teeth are there. Short and solid means none are missing but they're worn. Age, forage, soil conditions and types composition of supplements all affect the teeth.
