They can, but they won't conceive a calf. It's just like with two women having sex: they can arouse each other to orgasm, but that won't mean that they will conceive a child between them. In the case of the bovine world, if a cow is in heat, she can (and will) ride other cows or heifers and other cows and heifers will ride her, but because they don't have the "tools" necessary to get her bred, she cannot conceive a calf. That's where the bull comes in, or the AI technician.

Twins will occur every 1:1000 births in cows. (This is not completely correct)
The rate of twinning is actually controlled by genetics. The U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) ran a program to genetically select for twinning and produced bulls whose daughters would have twins 50% of the time.
Many colleges also have twinning herds such as the University of Wisconsin's "Twin Cattle Project" that have twins at very high rates.
I have worked for a cattle company that didn't select for twins and they still had one twin for every 200 to 400 cows every year. My own heard usually has one set of twins per 300 cows every year.

A ugandan farmer wishes to continue the breeding program to improve his heard of cows further When he is choosing which cows to breed mkilk production is an important quality Give two other qualitiy?
#1. Ease of calving. You would want to keep cows who have a history of being able to calve without help as opposed to those who always need help during calving. #2. Size of calves and viability. You would want to keep cows that generally calve larger calves, as well as those who rarely loose calves due to small birth size or general weakness of newborn calves. Over time your herd will become generally more robust.

What does get along little doggies mean?
Actually a "dogie" refers to a motherless calf. In bovine terms females are called heifers until they give birth then they are cows. Male cattle are bulls unless they have been castrated then the are called steers. Steers are where most of the beef we consume comes from. Ranchers keep a number of cows depending on how much grazing land they have. A bull or two is left with the cows to ensure as many cows as possible have calves. Ideally ranchers want heifers, and young bull calves are turned into steers and then are sent to market in a year.
When do you separate cattle?
Whenever you need to separate them. Honestly, it's your choice when you want to separate them. But note that in terms of cow-calf herds, you need to separate calves from cows when the calves are around 6 months of age. It may be a good idea to separate bull calves and steer calves and their mommas from the cows that have heifer calves at their side a month or two prior to weaning. Heifers and steers can be together, but you need to separate bull calves from heifers and keep them separate during the weaning process. This minimizes the risk of these young bulls breeding an early-maturing heifer and getting her bred by accident. Cows should be separated from bulls (NOT vice-versa, as it's more dangerous to separate bulls from the cows) after 60 to 80 days have passed since the bull was put in with the cows. Separate cull cows from the main cowherd the day you are going to sell them or, if you want to fatten up these cull cows, a few weeks prior to selling them. Before winter sets in, separate thin cows from the fat or normally-conditioned cows and put them with your bred heifer herd.
How long does it take for a cow to grow up?
