She may be bleeding out of her vulva, or look like she has lots of fluid in her belly. She may also develop signs of infection. Uterine tears happen most commonly when the uterus is dry and not lubricated, especially if a cow has been in labour for a long time (like 12 hours or more).

Is 1 out of 4 cow stomachs for the calf?

Nope!! NONE of the stomachs are for a calf to grow in! The calf is conceived and grows in the UTERUS or WOMB of the cow, not her stomach! A cow's stomach is for digesting the food she eats, not for growing a calf in.


What is the size and pH of and the amount of liquid in the uterus of a cow post-parturition?

The size of the uterus would be about the size of the cow's rumen, being around 25 to 50 gal or able to hold that much liquid plus fetal calf in it. The pH would be neutral, around a pH of 7, ideal environment to hold a growing fetus in. The among of liquid a cow would have in her uterus post-partum may be as little as one litre to as much as five to 10 gallons, depending if she has a retained placenta or not. Usually most of the liquid (or amniotic fluid) that is in the cow's uterus gets flushed out during birth or during the time she pushes out the placenta.
