7.5 months of gestation? She shouldn't. This is what is called Premature Birth, and often, if the calf is not cared for very well, the calf will not survive. A calf's lungs will be underdeveloped, and he will also be very susceptible to fluctuations in temperature and diseases, so care really has to be taken (even if it means taking it in the house for a few weeks), to keep it warm, well fed, and healthy.
