Udder

From Freepedia

Image:Udder closeup.jpg An udder is the mammary organ of cattle and some other mammals, including goats and sheep.

A cow has one udder and four teats or nipples, while goats have two teats on their udders. A cow's udder can hold around 15 litres of milk, and has a total weight of around 50 kg.

Udder care and hygiene in cows is important in milking, aiding uninterrupted and untainted milk production, and preventing mastitis.
