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 do you get a beef cow to accept a calf that isn't hers?
The best thing you can do is to skin the dead calf of that beef cow's, and drape it over the orphan calf's body so that you trick the cow into thinking that that calf is hers. But this will only work if you have that cow's dead calf on hand and not if that cow doesn't have a calf or if you're wanting to put another calf on that cow. Other tricks include smearing cod liver oil or perfume or some other strong-smelling solution that's not poisonous to the cow nor calf over the cow's nose and all over the back and head of the calf, putting a dog in with the cow and the calf, etc.

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."
What is child of a cow?

What do you call a newborn cattle?

Can a cow live it if its had a dead calf in her for 10 days?
No. The calf will have long started to decompose inside her. Once or if you try to take that dead calf out of her, a massive amount of toxins will enter her bloodstream and kill her in minutes. She may already have started signs of toxicity in her system that you haven't even noticed yet. Either way, get her put down, it'll be in the best interest of the cow. Besides, you shouldn't have let her get this far along with a dead calf in her anyway, either you are not properly watching your calving cows or she slipped off somewhere where it was much difficult for you to even see if she was calving or not.
What is the offspring of a cow called?
