This text seems to be taken from http://www.publicbookshelf.com/public_html/The_Household_Cyclopedia_of_General_Information/agecattle_if.html, which says it is an excerpt from The Household Cyclopedia of General Information, published 1881.

 * Age of cattle features a quote from a book that "may not be accurate", and nothing else. -- Francs2000 08:34, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * The copyright claim is invalid because the Household Cyclopedia, being published in 1884 is in the public domain. Toph99 12:31, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * The article should be merged into an article on cattle or cows or bovines. However, I would be a bit wary of "technical" info that is this old. Still, it could be moved with the 1884 tag until someone with knowledge about aging cows comes along to correct - Marshman 18:08, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Move to wikisource if you like it, since the information is too outdated to be reliable. Maximus Rex 20:06, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Telling the age of cattle was well established by 1884. Wile E. Heresiarch 16:39, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Expand. Telling the age of ruminants by looking in the mouth is seen in old movies and TV shows, and the adage "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" relates to this directly, though I agree the species is off a bit.  The historical information is interesting.  I have asked a university veterinary dental instructor if she would be interested in contributing to the article. Kd4ttc 18:27, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Copyedit and expand [note history and innovation, if any] JDR

Out of date
Concerning the line "A early version of this article was an extract from The Household Cyclopedia of General Information, 1881. The methods described may therefore be out of date." The methods in this article are still used in the industry to determine the age of an animal. Cheers Beaver 23:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
