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.
Which semen is best for a jersey cow?
Jersey semen. Never give semen from a Holstein bull to a Jersey cow because you'll just be asking for trouble: difficult calving, and possibly a dead or injured cow as a result of trying to pass a really large calf. If you want a dairy-beef cross, semen from an Angus bull with calving ease would also be alright.
