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

∙ 11y agoFour main teats are found on a cow's udder, however occasionally a female may have one or two extra teats that are nonfunctional. This could be due to genetics, and may either be bred out in the dairy industry, or simply dealt with with a pair of sterile scissors. These extra teats need to be removed otherwise mistakes may be made if the milk machine is put on a nonfunctional teat and not on a functional one.

What defines a cows milking period?
Lactation is a term for the time period that a cow, or any other female mammal, is able to produce milk. What defines such a period is by seeing how tight and swollen the udder is on that cow. If the udder looks tight and swollen and all four teats look full, then she is obviously in her lactation period. This goes for all types of cows, beef and dairy alike.
