Extreme temperatures (hot or cold), fear, illness, pain, discomfort, inability to stretch limbs or move around, hunger, thirst, extreme weather, estrus, calving, separation from the herd, object or activity out of routine, being hit and yelled at in order to be forced into an area it doesn't want to go, the list goes on.
If a cow is urinating blood, the most common cause is a urinary tract infection. It can also be caused by parasites or cancer. Make sure they have plenty of water.
It depends on what they have prolapsed, since there are three types of prolapses: rectal, uterine, and vaginal. If it is a female that has a uterine prolapse this can be a result of a birthing complication, and may be due to a chemical imbalance that is telling her to continue pushing, or because of stress on the birthing canal. This can also be true for a vaginal prolapse. Rectal prolapses can result from either constipation or diarrhea that the cow is constantly trying to push out.. This also can be a result of a high amount of stress, for example if the cow is down and cannot get back up she may put pressure on the rectum until it prolapses.
A "cow" is a cow when that "cow" is a she and she has given birth to at least one calf.

No. Technically a butcher cow is an old cull cow (mature female bovine that's been sold off a producer's main herd due to undesirable faults that make her not worth keeping), and as such doesn't need to be castrated. Butcher bulls don't need to be castrated prior to slaughter, since it'll be more stress on the animal to castrate (thus affecting the meat) than to not castrate.
Not exactly. A cow can have a large udder yet produce a little amount of milk if she is either under stress or is not being fed properly. However, it is definitely true that a cow with a larger udder will be more productive in terms of milking ability than a cow with a smaller udder.
No. Stress REDUCES milk production. A stressed out cow won't produce as much milk, nor will she even let down any milk when it's milking time.
It can be a little higher than normal because of the stress she's going through trying to push out that calf.

That just depends on whether the human or cow has a wound on their leg and/or whether they are thrashing around in the water because they are drowning. Piranha are attracted to both the smell of blood in the water and of stress pheromones emitted by a drowning human or animal.

All sorts of things, from some sort of genetic disorder to a virus or bacteria that the calf picked up in the womb from the cow, or from environmental conditions (from the extremely cold and wet [cold stress] to the extremely hot [heat stress]) that the calf was exposed to when born. Injury from the cow stepping on it or laying on it could also cause some serious damage to the calf. If the cow rejects her calf and he doesn't get colostrum, he could die. Malnutrition of the cow where she doesn't have enough milk or is deficient in a mineral enough that the calf dies when it's born will cause it as well. A prime example of this is selenium deficiency which causes White Muscle Disease.
