what good would it do to raise up a cow to milk producing age and get her up and procucing mass quantities of milk to have her die young?

Well, if no autopsy was done and we don't know why she died so young it would be difficult to say. However, if the cow contracted some illness and died, who cares? If the cow died of a genetic issue, cloning would also replicate that issue and the clone would die. So, until we know whether the cow died because of some congenital issue or not, we don't know. However, it would be nice to clone this animal because of it's output if it wasn't congenitally flawed.
