Yes, just like human children do. Cattle loose their baby teeth when they reach around 2 years of age to be replaced by adult teeth. But as old adults, most won't loose them, as they simply wear down after years of biting and eating forages to the point where they can't eat anymore and have to be shipped.

The molars, especially continue to grow in a slow, continuous fashion as an adaptation for cows to continue to use their molars to grind coarse roughages. Since cattle are born with high crowns, the continued growth compensates for the loss of crown height that is worn down through chewing and grazing. However, the growth of the teeth is sometimes out done by the diet of the animal, since feeds or areas that are highly saline or sandy, respectively, wear down teeth faster than they can regrow until they are at the gum line.

Yes, horse's hooves continue to grow throughout their life. Their teeth are fully formed at adulthood, but continue to erupt and grow longer throughout most of their lives.

For adults, no. For those young cattle, they loose their teeth at 2 years of age and have their adult teeth replace their baby teeth.
