Is this the cow with the mucus you asked about earlier? Is it all 4 quarters that are bloody or just one. What is the consistancy? Is it thick yellowish and sticky or lumpy? Has the calf nursed at all? If it hasn;t nursed at all, get some powdered colostrum first thing in the morning and get it into him.

the milk vain burst in her bagg.hence all the blood in the milk.if the blood is real bad milk her out till it clears up.an itll clear up in 3 or 4 milkings or wont be near as bloody.

Blood in milk = not a problem.
Calf won't drink = big problem.

Find someone who knows what they're doing to show you how to bottle feed him or drench him, if necessary.
