Is there a boy dairy cow?
Not quite. Female "baby dairy cows" are called heifer calves; "baby cows" are called calves--singular is calf. A heifer is actually a female bovine that has been weaned but has never given birth to a calf. She is called a first-calf heifer (or cow, depending on how you look at it) when she does.

Whenever and after she calves, which is usually at around 24 months of age.

What do you call a heifer that is also a twin?
You could call it a heifer, or a twin heifer if the sibling is also a heifer, or a freemartin if the heifer's sib is a bull calf.
What if you had a Jersey heifer and she is bred but you don't want to milk her so if you fed her low protein hay she would produce less milk just enough to feed her calf Would this work?
It would and it wouldn't. You could ruin the heifer by doing this, as dairy cattle always put more energy into producing milk than energy into keeping their weight up. When she's lactating, she will be putting all her resources into milk production, and feeding a low quality hay might just be the thing that could really pull her down. I do know that if you feed a lower quality feed this will reduce milk production. But it also depends on the breed: if you didn't want to milk her, why did you get a Jersey in the first place? You should've purchased an Angus heifer or a Hereford heifer or any kind of heifer that is not a dairy heifer. So this is a real catch 22 situation for you.
