A cow's vulva is synonymous to a woman's "vagina" or vulva, and is the entry point from the outside where cows conceive to produce offspring, give birth to a calf, and also urinate from. The vulva of a cow is the entry-way to the vagina and the uterus, and is a part of the cows' reproductive system.

How do you tell if a cow is a virgin or not?
There are really two ways to tell if a cow (or heifer) is a virgin or not. One is by the size of the vulva, and the other by the udder and teats. A virgin cow (a female that has already reached adult maturity at around 3 years of age) that is not pregnant or has never been bred will have a smaller vulva and almost no udder (except for four small teats between the legs). Cows that are not virgins will have a larger, more defined udder and teats and a larger vulva. The reason this is so is because, with the udder, milk needs to be produced in order to raise a calf. Mammary glands in cattle are only developed when the cow or heifer is pregnant: growth of teats also occur to allow for a "better grip" for a calf to suckle on. As for the vulva, they are larger in "experienced" or non-virgin cows because they have been stretched out from having to pass a calf through the birth canal. This stretching is the same in women, and is the very reason why heifers and women who give birth for the first time find it more difficult (and more painful) to give birth than those who have given birth before.
How can you tell if a cow has a torn uterus?
She may be bleeding out of her vulva, or look like she has lots of fluid in her belly. She may also develop signs of infection. Uterine tears happen most commonly when the uterus is dry and not lubricated, especially if a cow has been in labour for a long time (like 12 hours or more).

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.

Does cows milk come from the same place as wee?
