Are you meaning fetal development, or in a heifer? In the heifer, the udder starts to form as her unborn-calf develops, although this development can vary dramatically from heifer to heifer. Some fully bag-up (are full of milk) weeks before the calf is born; some do not get a full udder right before or right after the birth. The breed of cow also influences the size and development of the udder.
Udder development continues during lactation. The udder stretching by being full of milk, and the calf nursing on the teats, helps to increase the size of the udder in the young cow. By the second birth, the udder will often be larger and really show the cow (goat, sheep's) potential as a milk-producer.

What are the stages of a horses udder during pregnancy?
After the tenth month of pregnancy - the udder will begin to spring, the teats becoming clearly defined. As foaling approaches it will appear quite large and swollen, globules of wax appear at this stage, the mare should be watched closely, as foaling generally occurs within 24 hours. When globules drop off and milk appears, and when the muscles of the quarters sag on either side of the croup, her time is nigh. The vulva will soon distend, indicating that she will shortly come into labour
