Normally when sheep are pregnant they will not come into heat. If they have come into heat after being bred it is a sign that they did not catch or have aborted the fetus.

The reason why they do not come into heat is because progesterone levels have increased, while estrogen and testosterone hormone levels decrease. After fertilization of the egg, a corpus luteum is formed, which then continues to produce progesterone and prevent further estrous cycle.

Can a heifer be pregnant coming in heat and starting to lactate?

No. A pregnant heifer will rarely come into heat, and her heat period will only be once or twice during her pregnancy, then stop until after she has her calf. But she will not go into heat and start to lactate at the same time she's bred. She can only either be pregnant and have a small chance of coming into heat, or be pregnant and start to lactate (which only happens when she is nearing the end of her pregnancy).
