Do heifers lactate like cows do?
No. Heifers, being young female cattle, don't lactate until after they've had their first calf, which is typically at 24 months of age. A heifer remains a heifer, from birth, until she's had her first or second calf, whereby she is considered a cow. But until then, heifers don't lactate like cows do, and when they do lactate after birthing a calf, they typically produce less milk than their older counterparts.

Why do certain animals lactate continuously like cows and goats do?
They only do so if they are constantly stimulated to keep lactating, i.e., are milked regularly once or twice a day. If a mammal's milk is needed regularly, then that female mammal will keep lactating. If the milk is no longer needed, then that female mammal (which includes cows and goats) will stop producing milk. Besides, all mammals have the ability to lactate continuously like cows and goats (and that includes women) if they are constantly stimulated to produce milk.
Why do cows continue to lactate when they no longer have a calf?
