No, the cow has to have given birth to a calf or calves.
However, there has been cases were cows (and women too!) were able to produce milk without giving birth. It's all to do with hormones, since that is THE driving force behind milk production in all mammals.

Do all cows give milk or only the ones have given birth?
Yes all cows give milk (referring to "cows" as the mature female bovines that have given birth to at least one calf, not the colloquial term for "cow"), and yes they can only give milk if they have recently given birth. To confuse the reader even more, the answer to the first question would be "no" if one were to use the word "cow" in a colloquial sense, which would still make the answer "yes" to the second question since those cows that are capable of giving birth are the only ones that can give milk. The male cows (there are really no such things, but I'll keep going anyway) cannot give milk nor give birth, so they are obviously out of the picture as to being the ones giving milk or giving birth.
