Normally a cow should push out the placenta a few minutes to 48 hours after giving birth. Any longer, such as 10 days, would be considered "retaining of the placenta." If a cow retains her placenta, DO NOT PULL IT OUT!! Contact the vet to get some hormone such as oxytocin or something similar to encourage her uterus to contract and push the placenta out. If you pull it out you will cause metritis or uterine infection, which is NOT good for your cow.
