It's possible that she knew something was terribly wrong with it, or else something clicked in her head that makes me believe something's terribly wrong with that cow. You might want to consider culling her if you can't figure out any reason--health related or not--that would make her do this to her calf.

Why would a calf come out dead?
There are a lot of reasons why and reasons that often still have to be figured out yet. Here is a list of why a calf might be born dead:Lethal genetic defects such as Curly Calf SyndromeCow had in fact aborted the calf and the calf came out as a premie but didn't surviveCalf was retained in the uterus too longPlacenta detached from the uterine wall before the calf could be delivered on timeDifficult birth (see bullet #3 and #4)Malnutrition of the dam (i.e., not enough selenium results in sever White Muscle Disease of calf)Other causes that would leave even a veterinarian scratching their head...Other possible reasons that you may find a dead calf could be that you weren't out there enough or soon enough to catch a cow stepping on a calf, or a predator like a coyote, wolf, bear or even a pack of dogs chowing down on it. In the South vultures are to blame for newborn calf deaths. Screwworm flies or blow flies can infest a calf so bad that they are literally eaten alive by the maggots the flies lay on the just-born calf. Even swarms of mosquitoes and black flies can kill a young calf--driving the cow insane in the meantime.If a calf is born in the dead of winter--like on a terribly cold and stormy day--chances of survival could be questionable if you're not out there right away to put the calf in a warmer place. A calf born on a hot day may also have a slim survival rate, especially one that is of a breed not adapted to such hot-temperature days. A calf that is born in a puddle can drown.

They can, but it is not wise to do so. If the horse See's the calf as a threat she may try to attack and kill it, if the cow See's the mare as a threat she may also try to attack and kill the horse. It would be best to separate them if either of them acts even slightly upset about the other being near them.
