For example, if someone in the time of the temple dedicated a cow for a Karban, and before they could bring it to be sacrificed it became pregnant (or impregnated another cow), would its calf have any special status?

The child of a Shelamim is offered as a Shelamim according to the Chachamim, while R Eliezer prohibits doing so. All further descendants of a Shelamim's child are not offered.

All descendants of a Todah are offered as Todot but without bread.

All descendants of a Bechor or a Maaser are treated as a Bechor or Maaser.

All descendants of a Chattat must die.

All descendants of a Temurat Olah are offered as an Olah.

All descendants of a female animal that was separated as an Olah should be left to graze until they get a blemish and then sold with the proceeds going to extra Temple offerings. R Eliezer holds that they may be offered as Olot themselves.

All descendants of a Temurat Asham should be left to graze until they get a blemish and then sold with the proceeds going to extra Temple offerings. R Elazar says you can use the funds for a personal voluntary Olah offering. According to R Eliezer they must die.

(Based on Mishnah Temurah Chapter 3. See also Rambam Hilchot Temura Chapter 4.)

    The mishna there seems to be talking about children of female animals. The question here is about children of any animals.
