Calves are born with teeth, but only a few have already emerged when they were born. By 1 month of age a calf should already have an entire set of 8 temporary incisors. Their adult teeth replace their baby teeth when they reach ~2 years of age.

When does a calf's first teeth erupt?
Calves are born with teeth.
When do calves get there top teeth?
they dont. They only have bottom teeth for grazing.
Do month old calves have back teeth?
They should, because at that age they're already start to eat more "harder" foods.
How old are calves when they loose there baby teeth?
The calves are actually sexually mature and no longer "calves" by the time they lose their baby teeth, which is in fact around 2 years of age. You don't find this in feedlot steers because they have been killed and butchered (at around 14 to less than 24 months old) before they've dropped their baby teeth to be replaced by new ones. You find this more often in breeding bulls that are around 2 years of age, and heifers that have just had their first calf.

Do calves at 6 weeks of age get cattle grubs?
They can get grubs at that age if there is no deworming or anti-parasital program on your farm. If you deworm at the appropriate times, especially the cows, then calves at this age will not get grubs. But if you are concerned about bottle calves, then you should see your large animal veterinarian for a dewoming program for these bottle calves of yours. I would also recommend seeing what program is best for lactating cows with calves.
Are calves born with just baby teeth?
Yes, pretty much. The molars themselves are not exactly baby teeth as they don't fall out unless there's some sort of infection in the molars, but the incisors are baby teeth and will fall out when the animal reaches around two (sometimes three) years of age.
