Most cows will give birth to a single calf. However, twin calves are not uncommon. I do not believe it is physically possible for a cow to have triplets, though.

Why would a calf come out dead?
There are a lot of reasons why and reasons that often still have to be figured out yet. Here is a list of why a calf might be born dead:Lethal genetic defects such as Curly Calf SyndromeCow had in fact aborted the calf and the calf came out as a premie but didn't surviveCalf was retained in the uterus too longPlacenta detached from the uterine wall before the calf could be delivered on timeDifficult birth (see bullet #3 and #4)Malnutrition of the dam (i.e., not enough selenium results in sever White Muscle Disease of calf)Other causes that would leave even a veterinarian scratching their head...Other possible reasons that you may find a dead calf could be that you weren't out there enough or soon enough to catch a cow stepping on a calf, or a predator like a coyote, wolf, bear or even a pack of dogs chowing down on it. In the South vultures are to blame for newborn calf deaths. Screwworm flies or blow flies can infest a calf so bad that they are literally eaten alive by the maggots the flies lay on the just-born calf. Even swarms of mosquitoes and black flies can kill a young calf--driving the cow insane in the meantime.If a calf is born in the dead of winter--like on a terribly cold and stormy day--chances of survival could be questionable if you're not out there right away to put the calf in a warmer place. A calf born on a hot day may also have a slim survival rate, especially one that is of a breed not adapted to such hot-temperature days. A calf that is born in a puddle can drown.
