Yes, but it's very rare. Most cows will simply carry both calves, or abort one then the other later on, if the cow is carrying twins which is rare in itself.

calves
there are many animals that their young are called calves. there are camel calves, cow calves, and i think orca whale babies are called calves. not sure about the last one. =)
Since a mature cow is one that already has had a couple of calves already, and since they are only able to have one calf once a year (rarely twins), on average a mature cow will have 10 calves in 10 years.
Usually one calf per cow. Occasionally one cow may have enough milk to feed two calves, but dairy nurse cows can have as many as four calves suckling from her.
A cow can have anywhere from one to 20 calves in her lifetime, depending on how productive she is and how long she is able to stay in the herd to produce those calves. On average, a cow will produce eight calves in her lifetime. Cows that are used for embryo transfer can produce up to twice as many calves in her life time than she can by her own doing. The record number of calves a cow has had in her lifetime is 39.
A cow can deliver one calf at a time.
Yes it is; they are both called Calves.
They are called a calf for a single and calves for more than one.
A cow is already grown. She is a female mature bovine that has already given birth to at least one or two calves.
Rare, but probably happens more often than what is noticed.
Always one. I've never heard of two calves being born at the same time; if there were twins, it's always one after the other, as the cow's pelvis is only wide enough to allow one calf through at a time.
