heifer didn't make it

Well I woke up this morning to find a 2 month old heifer lying dead by a round bale feeder. Which brings me to my question, what should be done with the cow if anything? I could bring her up by the house and try to see about milking her out or do I just let nature take its course and she'll dry up on her own? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Let nature take its course but keep a close eye on her my grandpa used to skin the calf back and put it on another calf that wasn't getting anough milk or bought a Holstein steer I know there is stuff that u put on the cows nose and tricks the calf
You could try that and it's worth a shot we got it to work once but that calf also died so it didn't really matter anyhow.
