A cow can survive if her calf is dead in her womb. But if that calf is not expelled or pulled out soon, she could die as well.

How long before a cow dries up after giving birth?
She will dry up after her calf is weaned or you stop milking her. So, typically, she will dry up 6 to 10 months after giving birth, if she is kept to produce milk for that period of time. If she has produced a dead calf and you don't have any serrogate calves you can put on her, or have no use to use her for milk production, then she should dry up after a few days to a couple weeks.
What do you call a calf's father who is sleeping?
For almost any species where the child is called a 'calf', the father is called a 'bull'. He may also be called the "sire", but that term is also used for the father of a colt, puppy, kitten, or about any animal.
How long does it take for a cow or heifer to give birth?
It depends on the age of that cow or heifer, what position the calf is in when it enters the birth canal, and what size the calf is. Some may even say that it also depends on the sex of the calf as well. It should only take a few hours or more for the calf to start to emerge during the early stages of labour, being presentation of the water sac and the calf's front hooves. Once the water sac emerges, it usually takes from a half hour to an hour for the calf to be expelled. Most cows that have had experience will only take 10 to 30 minutes to "spit" the calf out. Cows that have been bred to a bull that does not have the genetics for easy calving tend take longer due to the fact that they have a bigger calf to push out. Heifers, on the other hand, may take several hours to give birth because of their smaller pelvic opening. Heifers that have not been bred to a calving-ease bull tend to end up with more problems, and will take longer to calve out. If a calf is not in the proper position it will also take longer, and may end up needing help from a vet or the rancher/farmer to pull the calf out and ensure the cow/heifer and calf's survival. As far as the sex of the calf is concerned, there are some claims that if a cow retains a calf for longer or takes longer to give birth the calf's a bull calf; the opposite is true if it's a heifer. Not sure if this has any scientific merit, or if it's just some old wive's tales.
Before a calf is born where is it in the mother cow?
It is where any baby animal is within its mother: in the uterus or womb.
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."
