calf teeth

[sfr]

I am new to the bussiness could anyone tell me how long it takes for calves to get all there teeth. I have a 7 month old calf with no upper front teeth.

Cattle don't have upper front teeth. They have a tough pad, instead.

PS Brace yourself, there is likely to be fallout from this question, but don't let it get you down.

 

[Beefy]

dont hold your breath. your calf will never have upper front teeth. i laughed at the hired hand when he first started b/c he told me one of the cows tried to bite him. :lol:

Boy this brings back memories. I don't know how many people have asked me why I don't have any bulls. I say " what ya mean, I have bulls, see there". Then they say oh that's not a bull, it doesn't have any horns. :shock: Then they tell me bulls have horns and cows don't. I really get a kick out of that one.

My cows have teeth cause the vet. counted them or something to tell me how old they were!! But I have had people ask me about the bulls and horns deal! I get so tickled!!

They don't have front uppers if they do them are horses.

Yeah, I think the next one that comes along with the bulls have horns theory, I'm going to get my camera and ask them if I can take a picture of them milking that big old Hereford cow standing there with no horns. :shock: :lol:

Its a lot better to ask a question like that here , than down at the auction barn. At least you cant see these people laughing . The only way to learn about cattle is to observe and ask questions.

 

[jerry27150]

we may laugh, but we will still help anytime. give us any question

So, how many do they have cowbelle?

 

[Susie David]

Common boys...be nice!
Oh yeah...cows can bite, just get a finger between the teeth and the hard pallet and see how sharp the calf teeth are.
Keep on asking questions...the only way to learn unless you get a good cow book.
Good luck.

That is nothing. I have a lot of chickens and everyone wants to know why I have a rooster. They think you need a rooster for the chickens to lay eggs. I tell them that as long as a chicken has lips it will not need a rooster to lay eggs. The upper teeth question is a legitimate one. People relate animals to themselves. They cannot fathom why a goat will urinate on himself to attract female goats, people relate everything to themselves. If it does not fit in to what they used to--it then becomes gross or disgusting. People are strange. I don't think animals judge us like that.

Teeth well thats not a big deal at all.

But please dont milk your bull. It could end very poorly.

Checking the bottom teeth on an animal is a valid way of determining an estimated age of a cow.

Asking kids how many teeth a calf has on the top of its mouth has always been a Judge favorite when asking questions in showmanship classes.
