What is it called when a cow is giving birth and her intestines come out with the calf?

No such thing occurs. A cow's intestines are very much separated from where the calf is birthed from. If a cow is giving birth and something is coming out of her as or after she gives birth, this is most likely either the amniotic sac, or the placenta that comes out immediately, which is mistaken as "intestines" to the person who knows nothing about the birthing process of cattle. This is very normal in the birthing process.
The only way the intestines are really going to come out of a cow is if her belly has been cut or ripped open some how. This is very painful for the cow (as if giving birth isn't), and very inhumane. However, the birthing process, as mentioned above, is often not understood well by the vast majority of the general population. For instance, the amniotic fluid that comes out with the calf as it is born is often mistaken as blood. The amniotic sac and/or after birth or placenta that comes out with the calf can be mistaken as innards like intestines.
If you want to know more about cow reproduction, do not assume things for what they seem, for things are very often not what they may appear to be!!
