Yes, but in most cases it is best to let the cow carry the calf as long as she wants or needs to, especially if you're looking to induce labour on a heavily pregnant cow. If you induce too early during the third-trimester you could end up with a preemie on your hands, or a calf that has under-developed lungs that has a less chance of surviving than a calf that has been born without being induced. If your veterinarian recommends to induce labour in your cow for whatever reason, Oxytocin is a hormonal drug that can be used to help induce labour. Read the label or ask the vet for a recommended dosage.
There are exceptions to inducing labour, though. But this is really is dependent on what trimester the cow's in to make it successful and to make it an abortion rather than a premature birth. Cows (and heifers) should be induced to abort the fetus in them when they're no more than 5 months into the gestation period. Lutylase or Estrumate are drugs that contain the hormone PGF2-alpha (Prostaglandin F2-alpha, a follicle-stimulating hormone) that are commonly used on cows or heifers that have been mis-breeded to get them to abort.

Is it a good idea to induce labor on a cow if her calf is too big?
No. The calf will obviously be too big to get his shoulders through the pelvic opening and through the birth canal without causing extensive damage to both himself an the cow, even if he was pulled out with a calf puller. You're much better off getting the vet out to do a Caesarean section on her to safely pull the calf out.
