It could be due to a variety of reasons, from disease to malnutrition (and not the emaciated-type of "malnutrition"). Diseases such as Bovine Viral Diarrhea and Trichomoniasis can trigger abortions in cows. Cows that don't get adequate nutrition can also abort.

There can be several reasons why a cow may give birth prematurely. These include hormonal imbalances, infection or illness, poor nutrition, genetic factors, stress, and certain medications or treatments. It is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the specific cause and appropriate course of action.

How do you recognize premature birth of a cow?

If you know the approximate date the cow or heifer is due and she calves fairly earlier than that you will know that it is a premature labour. If not, when the calf is born it may be showing some abnormalities in body structure or may just simply be smaller than the average calf at birth.

Will hereford cow calve a limousin calf?

No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
