[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1306707, member: 1715"] Cows are sold as "broken mouth" here if they are missing a tooth, or the incisors are very short, or the incisors are totally gone. Risk takers then bid on these BM cows based on their body condition and the width of their muzzle. Often they are bred cows that have been trucked east from the Dakotas. I have started to mouth some of my cows and was amazed to find cows in good body condition with out incisors at all. Is this some what common, or is mostly due to your pasture grass quality ? Is it safe to assume these gummers are over 12 years old, or ? [/QUOTE]
