That's normal, nothing to worry about. Depending on what breed the cow is, she may carry the calf until 290 or 293 days of gestation. Late-maturing breeds such as Charolais, Limousin and Maine Anjou will often carry their calves over the 284- or 285-day mark.

After a cow calves should you milk her or not?

It depends. Is she a beef cow or dairy cow? Are you wanting to keep the cow with the calf or separating the calf from the cow? Usually with beef cows you don't bother with milking them unless you have to because the calf isn't up and suckling soon after birth and you want to encourage the calf to be up and suckling, or to get some milk from a cow or heifer that won't accept her calf right away to feed that calf with. With dairy cows, though, if you've separated the calf from the cow right away, it's ideal to milk that cow to collect the colostrum to feed that calf--and other calves--to the benefit of the calf's health. But, if you are wanting to keep the calf with the cow for a couple of days, then no, it's not necessary.
