Heifers grow teats when they start producing milk, which is either right before they calve, right after, or during pregnancy. The teat canals make the teat grow bigger because of the milk filling up in the cavity, which is released when the new calf begins to suckle.

A cow should have four functional teats as maximum. She can, however, have two or more extra non-functional teats, none of which affect production nor milking ability. In dairy operations, though, these extra teats need to be removed so that the person with the milking machine doesn't hook up the vacuum pump to the wrong teat.

Do all cows have the same amount of teats?
As many as 50% of the dairy calves are born with more than two teats on a side, but these extra teats, called supernumerary teats, always form on the same line with the two primary teats on each side. If the supernumerary teats are allowed to develop further then they can hinder the milking process when the cow is mature. Even though they usually are not very productive in making milk, they can add to the cow's risk of the udder becoming infected with bacteria. With those risks in mind, the extra teats usually are removed when the calf is only a few days old
