Yes you can. You can use LUTALYSE or ESTRUMATE to abort her calf.

Note that Lutalyse is best used to abort cattle when they are between 5 and 130 days into gestation. Estrumate is best used when cattle are between 5 or 7 (or one week) and 4 1/2 months (or ~140 days) into gestation.

Using Lutalyse after 270 days after parturition should only be used if the cow or heifer is suspected of having a mummified or macerated fetuses, hydrops amnii, hydroallantois, etc.

So you have a choice of using either or of the above "medicines."
