Where should intramuscular shots be placed on a cow?
Only when it's called for or absolutely necessary. Most meds and/or vaccines recommend SubQ shots over IM because of the slower release rate that allows the medicines to take effect. There are certain meds that say you can give IM, but they also have dosage rates for SubQ, and more than likely SubQ is higher recommended than IM. Check with your vet on that though.

How is a subcutaneous injection administered?
For humans, it's best to give a subQ injection at 90 to 45 degrees. Ninety-degrees is best if you have tented 2 inches of skin. Forty-five degrees only if you have tented one inch of skin.For livestock though, it is best to give subQ shots at a 30 to 45 degree angle relative to the surface of the body after tenting the skin with thumb and forefingers. This is especially true when you have to give a SubQ shot to livestock like horses, cattle, sheep, and goats.A subcutaneous injection can be given at either a 90 or a 45 degree angle.

Depends on how long the needle is and how big the syringe is. Or, if you're asking about the length of time a subQ injection takes, it only takes a few seconds, less if there's not much to inject.
Where do you put a subcutaneous injection on a cow?
Subcutaneous injections are best given half-way up the neck in front of the shoulder, between the shoulder blades or over the ribs well behind the shoulder. NEVER give a subQ shot on the hindquarters! If you are giving it in the neck, it's best to form a tent with one hand, then insert the needle at a 30 to 45 degree in any part of the tent with the other hand. Be careful about how far you put the needle in, as most cases you don't need to have the needle all the way in to inject subQ. Some producers are really good at doing it one-handed, just by inserting the needle at a shallow angle (~30o) to the angle of the neck so that the needle is inserted under the skin.
Do shots go in your butt?
Some can. It's frequently the site of choice for intramuscular shots. SubQ (subcutaneous) shots usually go in the belly. Intravenous shots usually go into the lower arm somewhere; the wrist, the back of the hand, and the inside of the elbow are all places where there's a fairly large vein close to the surface.
