IN DETERMINING THE AGE of the different domestic animals by the development
and appearance of the teeth, most of the attention is given to the lower
incisor teeth. Up to the fifth year, the age of the horse or ox can be
easily determined by the eruption and replacement of the incisors.

At _one year_ of age the colt has a fully developed set of temporary
incisors. The ruminant's incisors at this age all show wear.
