Male "cows" are not cows. They are bulls or steers, which do not produce milk. Female bovines that have had a calf are called cows and those cows produce milk. Young female bovines that have not had a calf are called heifers, and they are not able to produce milk because they have not had a calf yet.

Yes but only after she has had lambed. Once the ewe has weaned her lambs, her milk production decreases to nil, and will remain nil until she has given birth to another set of lambs (provided she has been bred before hand of course.)

Generally only female goats produce milk. However, on very rare occasions male goats (bucks) may begin producing milk. Such bucks are generally otherwise perfectly normal.
