It is only a simple matter of knowing the time of appearance and the degree of wear of the temporary and permanent teeth. The temporary or milk teeth are easily distinguished from the permanent or adult ones by their smaller size and whiter colour.

Why did a seven year old cow loose two middle teeth?

It's hard to say. She probably got them knocked out by a herd-member with horns that jabbed her in the mouth with them, knocking a couple teeth out. Seven years is not ancient for a cow, it's actually relatively young for a cow, and many cows don't have problems with things like tooth rot or anything like that, nor experience their teeth wearing down too much: not, at least, until they're at least 15 years of age. So getting her teeth knocked out by some other cow's horn is the most likely reason why she's missing a couple front teeth. It's no big deal though, if no infection has popped up that could inhibit her ability to eat.
