There are a number of things that you can do. If the cow has developed an udder and is just not letting her milk down, try to administer about 2-3 cc of oxytocin into the rump area (by the udder but not into the udder). Wait a couple of minutes after giving the needle and see if she has let her milk down (either have the calf suckle or strip some milk out of the udder by hand).

If she has not developed an udder, you will have to either try to get another cow to adopt the calf or feed the calf milk replacer. You might have to cull the cow if she did not develop an udder as she may not be able to produce milk in the future.

What is a pregnant cow called?

A bred cow or a pregnant cow, or, in the dairy industry, just a cow. In sale barns, if she has a calf at side, she is also referred to as a 3-in-1 or a three-fer or suckling bred cow. If she's lactating, like in a beef or dairy herd, then she's called a nursing bred cow, lactating bred cow or bred lactating/milking dairy cow. If she's not nursing or lactating, she's called a dry bred cow non-lactating pregnant cow if you really want to get technical. In the dairy industry, a lactating heifer that has already had her first calf is referred to as a first-calf heifer; once she has a second calf she is generally referred to as a cow. In the beef industry, a heifer that is pregnant with her first calf is called a bred heifer.
