No. She is a dairy cow, one that is used to primarily produce milk.
Can a cow feed 3 calves?
Only if she's a dairy cow, like a Holstein or Jersey or some sort of dairy cross, like Holsetin-Jersey cross or Swiss-Jersey or Swiss-Holstein cross. Those type of cows can nurse up to four calves at once, with one calf on each tit. A beef cow or beef-dairy cross cow will not be able to feed three calves at once, only one; dairy-beef cross cows may be able to get away with feeding two at the most; occasionally three if she's a high-producing cow for a beef-dairy cross.

When does the lactation period start in cows and when does it end?
For beef and dairy cows, lactation period begins immediately after a calf is born. For beef cows, the lactation period ends when their calves are weaned off of them. For a dairy cow, the lactation period ends when she is not longer being milked and allowed to dry up so that she can focus on putting energy into growing the calf inside her. The dry period for a dairy cow is shorter than a beef cow's: two months for a dairy cow, and four to five months for a beef cow.
