If she's got an udder, they she's a cow. Absence of horns is NOT a way of telling whether a bovine is a cow or bull. See the related question below where one asker asked what a cow looked like.

By their teeth, particularly the incisors (the lower, as ruminants don't have upper incisors). The amount of wear and presence of certain teeth will normally tell you the age of a bovine.

You can also check with the breeder, as all owners of cattle are "supposed" to keep records about purchases, sales, birth, medication, feed, illness, breedings and deaths.
