No. You're thinking of the chicken or any type of bird that has this "feature," not cows. A cow's rectum is above the vulva, and the urethra and vagina is found in the vulva. The urethra is situated in the vagina but branches from the vagina to the kidneys. The entrance to the urethra is found in the first few inches of the cow's vagina.

How does the urethra affect cattle breeding?
The urethra in bulls is where the semen is ejaculated through and deposited into the cow's vagina. The urethra in cows is nothing more than an exit way for urine to be let out of. Without a urethra in a bull's penis, there may have to be some other way for semen to be ejaculated into a cow's vagina, or else cattle will have never existed on this planet. The urethra is important in all male mammals, by the way.

Does parmeasan cheese contain cow rectum?
No, of course not! Parmesan cheese comes from milk from a cow, not any body parts of a cow.
Where is the vagina located on the cow?

How does a cow get rid of waste?
Cattle get rid of waste in the form of feces, urine and sweat. Feces come from the "leftovers" of what a bovine ingested and digested, which pass from the stomach chambers through the intestines to the rectum. Urine is comprised of water, urea and toxins that were filtered by the kidneys from the blood and is stored in the bladder to be emptied via the urethra, which would exit from the vagina of the cow or heifer, or the penis of the bull or steer. Sweat for most bovines not of the subspecies B. p. indicus comes from the nose, and are essentially sweat glands that excrete contents filtered from the blood.
Does a cow have a urethra?
Yes. Bulls do too, as do heifers, steers and calves.
Does a cow only have one orifice for its anus and vagina and therefore give birth through its anus?
A cow definitely has a vagina and does not give birth through its anus. If a calf presents upside down, very occasionally the hooves may tear through the vaginal wall and the whole calf will move from the vagina into the rectum and out through the anus. Obviously this causes significant tissue damage and usually results in the mother being put down.Only male cattle have one orifice under their tails. Cows have two orifices under their tails, one anus and below that, the vagina. As mentioned above, it is the vagina where cows normally give birth.
Can a cow die if water goes in through their rectum?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
Why does the Veterinarian penetrate his hand in the cow's anus before insemination?
He needs to locate and find the cervix first before he inserts the AI gun into the vagina of the cow. When he's in the rectum, he can hold the cervix from the "outside" with one hand and slide the gun through the cervix to deposit semen in the uterus with the other.
What is the purpose of the cow's rectum and anus?
The cows rectum stores fecal matter until it is expelled through the anus. The expulsion of feces is known as defecation.
When a cow gives birth is it through its anus?
