You're better off getting a large animal veterinarian to do that for you because if you try to figure out how to do it yourself there's a high possibility that you could make a mistake that may be hard to fix, or that still will require a veterinarian's input anyway.

The thing to understand is that in most cases flushing isn't necessary unless the cow has a retained placenta or metritis (uterine infection), although it's very highly questionable and highly unlikely for the former. Flushing the cow's uterus will get rid of the bacteria and pus tissue from the uterus and supposedly helps the uterus contract and "regain tonicity." But flushing a cow's uterus isn't the fix-all solution for preventing infertility.

Infertility is often caused by poor body condition (i.e., cows are too fat or too thin), or inadequate feed-which may be due to poorer feed quality than what the feed appears to be. A cow's nutritional requirements changes throughout the year and must be met throughout the year, based on her physiological and reproductive needs. If these needs are not met or you find some excuse for not meeting them, then you need to consider raising something else (or no cows at all), or start pulling up your socks and tightening up your belt so that you find some way of getting your cow's nutritional levels to improve. Or, you can consider culling those females that are not doing so well and keeping the ones that are.

Infertility in cows can also be caused by cystic ovaries, hormonal imbalance, your management criteria (such as not culling for poor-doing cows or failing to cull out the cows that don't come back into heat on time), age, etc. Thus it is highly recommended to take the time to analyze your operation to increase fertility in your cow herd.

There really is no medication or feed system that will prevent cows from getting cystic ovaries, though over conditioning (where cows are too fat to be considered normal condition) may be a factor in a cow getting cystic ovaries.

Why cows give birth one at a time?

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.
