Well it certainly isn't not uncommon for cows to do so. But there is risk that the cow may choke on it, and thus it is often best to let predators like coyotes, foxes or your dogs to clean it up instead.

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.
