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.

How do you get foster cows to let jersey calves milking off them?
I have a 4 year old Guernsey Cow, over the course of this year she has raised 7 calves for me, 3 calves for 3 months, 2 calves for 4 months and 2 calves for 3 months, and now she's dry, two months before she calves in march. after putting your cow's head in a stanchion, and giving her something to munch on. you put her calf on a front quarter, with it's behind toward the cow so if she turns to sniff it, it's hers she smells, then take time don't get excited, and slowly bring in one of the calves you want to feed on the cow, after it's eating, you go get the other calf and bring it in and put it on the back quarter of the other side, and have someone stand between the cow's head and the calf. the calves should eat good for about 8 minutes, and the cow should be milked the rest of the way out to prevent mastitis. if you've got a good cow she should accept them with little Resistance.
