I have had a heifer (black angus) drop a calf early and it didnt survive. Now she has some sores on her belly in a straight line down her belly. What is this and how do i help her?

Apply iodine solution on the sores.

The sores could be due to flies depending on what part of the country you are in as they may be out already. You might put out a fly rub or apply a pour-on to help prevent flies.
