   Dentition
   By an examination of the lower incisors an estimate can be made of the animal's age; indigenous stock, however, do not erupt new teeth as quickly as exotics while intensively reared stock erupt teeth at a rather earlier age than ranch stock. With so many variables, ageing by teeth in the tropics is not usually reliable. Some ranchers report that there is a set-back when the central incisors are cast in hard dry conditions.
