According to Church (1988) the formula for the dentition of ruminants is
2 (Di 0/4 Dc 0/0 Dp 3/3) = 20. I hope that this information helps out.

Cattle have 20 deciduous teeth (3 lower incisors, one lower canine -
frequently referred to as a fourth incisor - and three upper and 3 lower
premolars on each side). They have 32 permanent teeth (equivalent to
deciduous set plus 3 upper and 3 lower molars on each side).
