udders
Where calves suckle
Udders are the bag-like mammary organs of cows, goats, sheep, and other livestock, hanging beneath the animal and containing multiple teats for nursing or milking.
The word is almost always plural, referring to the whole apparatus: The cow's udders were swollen and needed milking.
Udder appears in crude comparisons to large breasts.
