They do have teeth, they are born with two or three (a few none at all) and start growing their baby teeth until they are 2 years old.

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.
