Keep an eye on the cow - if she starts getting sick (running a fever, off feed, dehydrated or decreased milk production) call your veterinarian immediately and tell him the placenta may be retained. Otherwise, some cows take up to 7 days to completely clear the placenta. The important part is don't pull on the placenta hanging out of the vulva. Ripping the placenta makes it more likely a piece will end up left inside where it will rot and cause infection and problems.

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.
What are the differences between the placenta and the small intestine?
