When the cow is well past her due date and you have this sense that something's not quite right: she still looks really big, but is not giving birth. Sixth sense and a gut feeling should be your best indicator. Seriously: if you're asking questions on the internet on various question and answer sites about this very thing, you know very well something's wrong and it needs to be checked out. Next time this happen, don't waste your time posting a ton of questions regarding this: call your veterinarian and have him come out to have a look at her to see what's wrong.

How do you know if a calf is getting enough to eat?
A hungry calf is a healthy calf. Don't feed a calf too much other wise it will scour.

What is the size of a pregnant cow uterus?
Without a calf (or unbred), it's 1/3 larger than a basket ball. With a calf inside that is almost full term, the uterus can be about the same size as her rumen, which is as big as a 25 gal. barrel.
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.
What if you see a leg hanging out the birth canal of a cow?
Then that calf (and the cow) is in a lot of trouble, and you need to assist that cow right away. The calf needs to be pushed back in in order to get the other leg into the birth canal. The head is probably turned back as well (if the calf is coming front-first), and also needs to be straightened out before you pull out the calf. Of course, pushing a calf back into the uterus is easier said than done!

Is 1 out of 4 cow stomachs for the calf?

Before a calf is born where is it in the mother cow?

What problems does a cow have after having a dead calf pulled?
It depends on the dead calf. If it's a mummified calf, there's a risk of the cow developing metritis or infection of the uterus. Infection differs from the bacterial content in the uterus to whether there are any tears in the uterine wall from the calf's hooves scraping against the wall. Other issues from calving itself (and not necessarily from birthing a dead calf) could include mastitis (no calf to suckle from), paralysis in the hind legs from delivering a very large calf, milk fever, etc. If you can, it's highly recommended that you graft an orphan calf to the cow so that she still remains productive in your herd and doesn't let that milk "go to waste."
