The teeth used for determining age is the front row of incisors (cows do not have a top row of teeth). When a calf is born they usually only have one pair of middle incisors (these will appear smaller). At 1-2 years they will grow their second set of permanent incisors. 3-4 years they will gain their third set of permanent incisors, then finally the corner pair of incisors.
Between the age of 5-6 the middle teeth and the corner teeth will start to show wear by levelling out. Then at 10 and over all eight teeth will begin to show wear.
