Actually, cows can give birth to twins although it is not very common. But the main reason that cows can only give birth or have one calf at a time is because that's all the room she allows in her uterus. Her uterus is not large enough nor long enough to encompass more than one, extremely rarely four fetuses at one time. A cow is an animal that needs her young to be up and suckling in a matter of minutes, not nursing them as tiny weak things in a cave somewhere.

Do all cows give milk or only the ones have given birth?
Yes all cows give milk (referring to "cows" as the mature female bovines that have given birth to at least one calf, not the colloquial term for "cow"), and yes they can only give milk if they have recently given birth. To confuse the reader even more, the answer to the first question would be "no" if one were to use the word "cow" in a colloquial sense, which would still make the answer "yes" to the second question since those cows that are capable of giving birth are the only ones that can give milk. The male cows (there are really no such things, but I'll keep going anyway) cannot give milk nor give birth, so they are obviously out of the picture as to being the ones giving milk or giving birth.
