I forgot to look at the teeth, so I can't be sure. It was a mature cow that had raised a calf this past summer. I think she was older and likely beyond her prime, but we have documented 20+ year old cows bearing and successfully raising calves. She had little fat and muscle mass was slightly less than what I would have expected. I would guess that she weighed about 400 - 450 pounds, plus or minus. I didn't gut it so I don't know if she had a calf this year. When boning a critter, gutting is a step that is not needed. I can get out the tenderloins through abdominal wall.
