Please define "early." Are you referring to the umbilical cord falling off pre-birth or post-partum? If it's the latter, that's completely normal, and nothing to worry about. If it's the former, the calf's chances of survival in the womb for a long period of time is greatly reduced if you don't pull the calf out immediately.
