A +9 Birthweight EPD for a cow (assuming it is a +9 EPD that you're referring to) means that, in comparison to other cows of the same breed, size, weight, and environmental conditions they were raised in, that cow has a VERY high birth weight in comparison to the average (being an EPD of 0). That cow may be 9 lbs heavier at birth than the other cows, and/or she gave birth to a calf that weighed 9 lbs heavier than what the other cows (all of the same breed, age, weight, frame size, raised in the same environmental conditions, etc.) had.

How soon will a cow lose its after birth?
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.
