There's really no name for such a thing. All it is is that she's just ready to give milk to her newborn calf.
When they are weaned from their calves, the udder still produces milk for a few days, and the pressure is quite painful. But eventually the cow's body tells it to stop producing milk because the pressure is not being released. As she dries up, the milk is reabsorbed back into the cow's system, and her udder becomes less swollen with milk as the weeks go by. The drying up process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.
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.
