Yes, through embryo transfer. While she won't physically carry the calves to term in her body, her embryos can be placed in a recipient cow. This allows the original "donor" cow to produce multiple calves for her genetics every year.

How do you get foster cows to let jersey calves milking off them?
I have a 4 year old Guernsey Cow, over the course of this year she has raised 7 calves for me, 3 calves for 3 months, 2 calves for 4 months and 2 calves for 3 months, and now she's dry, two months before she calves in march. after putting your cow's head in a stanchion, and giving her something to munch on. you put her calf on a front quarter, with it's behind toward the cow so if she turns to sniff it, it's hers she smells, then take time don't get excited, and slowly bring in one of the calves you want to feed on the cow, after it's eating, you go get the other calf and bring it in and put it on the back quarter of the other side, and have someone stand between the cow's head and the calf. the calves should eat good for about 8 minutes, and the cow should be milked the rest of the way out to prevent mastitis. if you've got a good cow she should accept them with little Resistance.
