  1. I have a four-year-old Hereford cow that had to have a dead calf pulled on Monday. She has not yet expelled the afterbirth and it is now Wednesday. The vet said it may take three to four days. Isn't this dangerous for her? She is acting depressed, staying in the same place in the pasture. She is drinking from the creek and eating what I take down to her. Updated: October 15, 2010
  2. What is the consequence when the afterbirth fails to be expelled after calving? Updated: October 31, 2008
  3. My cow gave birth at 3 p.m. Saturday, and more than 24 hours later the placenta is still hanging down. Is this normal? Updated: October 30, 2008
