First thing to know is which incisor is erupting. Permanent incisors
vary up to 2-3 years in their eruption stages.
The eruption schedules for cow teeth can also be found in any basic
veterinary manual or textbook.

When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the
police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started
wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns (Jack Handy).

Subject: incisor eruption
Just a quick enquiry - I have a cattle jaw (from a horribly post-mortem
crushed
burial) with deciduous incisors just on their way out, the permanent
ones can be
seen pushing them out - how old is this animal ? I don't seem to have
any
useful information on incisors to hand and its urgent.
thanks
