Knowledge of the anatomy of the ureter is essential during manipulation of pelvic organs and surgery of animals. The study was conducted macroscopically to understand the anatomy of ureter of a Holstein-Friesian cow (2 years old). The ureters, paired muscular ducts, were originated with four roots, course retroperitoneally along the roof of abdomen and opened at the dorsal surface of urinary bladder near its neck obliquely. The entire ureter had a fairly even caliber except its origin. The average length and diameter of ureters were 77 cm and 0.9 cm respectively.
