Why would the afterbirth come out first on a cow?
If the afterbirth, or placenta, comes out before the calf during calving in a cow, it could be due to a premature detachment of the placenta from the uterus. This can happen if there are issues with the placenta or uterus, leading to complications during the birthing process. It is important to consult a veterinarian in such situations to ensure the health and safety of the cow and calf.

It would be best to talk to your local large animal veterinarian about this beforehand, however.
