have a heifer that's getting close to calving and just noticed that she's got 7 teats. Surely that's not normal, 4 are noticably good the others are smaller, but will they all milk?

I have never heard of commercial beef guys cutting the extras off, do show people cut them off?

Show folks and dairy folks sometimes cut the extras off. We always did.
A good clean, sharp pair of scissors at weaning will take care of them.
