Sometimes. But most of the time when a cow expels the after birth she leaves it for coyotes, wolves, dogs or any other predator/scavenger to eat up. Most females will eat the placenta to hide the scent of her birthing area, plus it provides extra nutrition for her when suckling her young.

∙ 10y agoGenerally they should not. It is normal, though, for cows to "bleed off" or have bloody discharge one or two days after estrus or being AI'd. This is a sign of normal ovulation, since vessels in the ovaries will rupture when the ovum is released into the cow's uterus. The rectum of a cow or heifer may bleed slightly from being stretched, since there are a lot of blood vessels in there that can be bruised or burst from the tech having to reach the cervix through the rectal wall.

∙ 10y agoNot if they're healthy animals. A cow may bleed a little after she has gone out of heat (which is around a day or two, sometimes three), but if it's excessive blood loss, then something's wrong with that cow that needs a veterinarian's attention as soon as possible.

∙ 12y agoNo. They will only bleed a little two to four days after estrus, however.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, they shouldn't. If they're bleeding that means that they could have a torn uterus and need to seek vet help immediately.

Are calf moose born without a scent?
No No Yes Maybe Depends
What problems does a cow have after having a dead calf pulled?
It depends on the dead calf. If it's a mummified calf, there's a risk of the cow developing metritis or infection of the uterus. Infection differs from the bacterial content in the uterus to whether there are any tears in the uterine wall from the calf's hooves scraping against the wall. Other issues from calving itself (and not necessarily from birthing a dead calf) could include mastitis (no calf to suckle from), paralysis in the hind legs from delivering a very large calf, milk fever, etc. If you can, it's highly recommended that you graft an orphan calf to the cow so that she still remains productive in your herd and doesn't let that milk "go to waste."
When a cow gives birth to a stillborn calf should you remove the afterbirth?
NO!!!! You leave it alone, let the cow clean it out herself. If you go in there and muck around you could increase the chance of her getting a bad uterine infection which could render her infertile or kill her if you don't treat her.
Did the cow come first or the calf?

Can a bull calf be born without a scrotum?
No. Some form of a scrotum is present when a bull calf is born, regardless if the testes haven't descended yet. It may appear as such if this is the case, but there is a scrotum or "cod" present when a bull calf is born.
