Mouthing a two tooth grass-fed Murray Grey heifer prior to sale. The age of cattle is determined chiefly by examination of the teeth, and less perfectly by the horn rings or the length of the tail brush; due to bang-tailing, which is the act of cutting the long hairs at the tip of the tail short to identify the animal after management practices, the last method is the least reliable.

Most beef cattle are mated naturally, whereby a bull is released into a herd of cows approximately 55 days after the calving period, depending on the cows' body condition score (BCS). If it was a cow's first time calving, she will take longer to re-breed by at least 10 days. [4]
The colour of the horns is some shade of pale green or yellow throughout the greater part of their length, but the tips are black. [13] The horns, of medium size by large bovid standards, grow to a length of 60 to 115 cm (24 to 45 in). [14] The cow is considerably lighter in colour than the bull.
