Do cows only have udders after giving birth?

Not exactly. A cow, when she is a heifer, starts developing mammary tissue a few weeks before having her first calf (where she is actually called a first-calf heifer not a cow), and retains that udder throughout her life. A cow doesn't just all of a sudden not have an udder before giving birth or suddenly have an udder after giving birth--it doesn't work like that. Once she has an udder, she keeps that udder until she dies.

Besides, a cow is a female mature bovine that has already had one or two calves and thus already has an udder. A heifer, on the other hand, is a female bovine that doesn't have a fully developed udder, not until she is close to calving (if she's been bred at the right time).
