milker

Cow-handling apparatus

A milker is a person or machine that extracts milk from cows or other dairy animals.

The term also applies to the animals themselves—a good milker produces abundant milk.

Figuratively, someone who milks a situation for all it's worth might be called a milker: He's a real milker when it comes to expense accounts.
