A cow can only produce 1 calf per year. Normally on one calf is born per calving or birthing. Twins are quite rare, as they only occur in about 1:1000 births.
For cows that only live up to 5 years of age before they are culled or die of an illness, they have only given birth to 2 or 3 calves. For cows that are lucky enough to live up to, say, 25 years of age, they have been able to produce around 23 calves in their lifetime. The amount of time a cow can produce calves depends on how strong of a producer she is (the birth weights of the calves and the amount of milk she produces), her longevity, conformation and genetic structures.
A cow usually only has one calf at a time. Farmers sometimes prefer this, as it means the mother has less trouble supporting the calves both physically and nutritionally, before and after calving. Also, if a cow has twins of different genders, there is a chance that the female may be a freemartin. This means that because it may have been sharing a blood supply with its twin, it has had exposure to male hormones and may be infertile, or not able to become pregnant. While this may not be such a big issue for beef cattle, it is a huge problem for dairy cattle, as dairy cattle are bred for milk, which is only produced if a cow can become pregnant!
What else can I help you with?
Does a cow give birth to a human?
No. Cows only give birth to other cows (i.e., calves), not humans.
How many times does cow give birth to a calf?
This is a really odd question, because, logically, a cow only gives birth once to a calf. In her lifetime she will give birth to over 10 calves.
Does a cow have a baby out their bum?
Generally yes. However, cows do not give birth to calves out of their anus: they calve or give birth out of their vagina or birth canal, just like your mother gave birth to you and your little brother or sister.
How many chromosomes do cow eggs have?
There is no such thing as a "cow egg." Cows don't lay eggs, they give birth to live calves, since they are mammals, not birds. Thus, a baby calf would have the same number of chromosomes as its mother.
How many calf are born at one time?
Most cows will give birth to a single calf. However, twin calves are not uncommon. I do not believe it is physically possible for a cow to have triplets, though.
Does a cow give birth to a human?
No. Cows only give birth to other cows (i.e., calves), not humans.
How many calves does a bison cow give birth to per year?
Bison cows primarily give birth to one calf a year.
How does a bull give birth?
A bull doesn't give birth because a bull is a male. The female, a cow, gives birth to the bull's offspring, and they are called calves.
How many times does cow give birth to a calf?
This is a really odd question, because, logically, a cow only gives birth once to a calf. In her lifetime she will give birth to over 10 calves.
Is there problems with breeding a charolais bull with a bison cow?
There could very well be. Charolais are notorious for siring large calves, and as such this could prove to be a really big problem for a bison momma. Bison are naturally adapted to give birth to small calves and to give birth quickly. If the bison cow cannot give birth to such a large calf, then she will be in serious trouble.
How do you get a baby calf?
From an auction mart or from a dairy farm that are selling calves, or from a cow that is pregnant and is nearly ready to give birth.

How many babies can a bull have at a time?
None. Bulls don't "have" babies. But they can make calves by breeding a cow or two. Or more. The average offspring that a bull can sire can range from 10 to 50 calves in a breeding season. Of course this depends on the cows' ability to settle when bred and not abort.
How often do cows give birth?
A cow is generally and usually expected to give birth only once a year. However cows can give birth to calves once every 11 months. Occasionally a cow will give birth to a calf 10 months after her previous parturition, but that is quite rare.
How many calves does a cow give birth to per year?
