Only if she has given birth to a calf before being bred again and continuously milked since then, then yes. But, if that cow has given birth to a calf, was dried up for some reason before being bred again, no.

Does bull gives milk?

A heifer does have to be bred and within weeks of giving birth, begin producing milk. It is rare, but I have seen a calf from a different dam begin to suckling a heifer six weeks before the heifer gave birth. And the heifer come into her milk. Not ideal, the heifer needed all her milk especially the colostrum for her own calf. The milk stealing calf had to be separated from the heifer.Answer 2:No. Heifers only produce milk when they are close to calving after they've been bred. However, there was one occaison when I seen a heifer producing milk when she was NOT bred, and was being suckled by another heifer of the same age. This in itself is very rare, as 99% of heifers that are not bred are not producing milk.
