I had this exact thing happen just last weekend sounds about the same a little blood on the rear and a tiny amount around nose my vet said that mine was trying to abort but was not dialated enough to abort so that was cause of death... sometimes i wonder though

thanks for the reply, the vet did say that the calf was dead inside her and that he could tell from the inside that she was trying to dialate but i would have not noticed anything from the outside. This makes me feel better because it makes sense now, i hate to say it but i kind of questioned...
