2) Milk comes out of the teats on the udder when a calf drinks or when the animal is milked. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/udder/#m2)

### sense in the lessons

In science and farming lessons, a dairy cow's udder has four teats; farmers milk cows by hand or with milking machines, usually twice a day; the milk is then cooled, tested and taken to the dairy. Pupils learn that cows only make milk after they have had a calf. Phrases: «a full udder», «milk the udder», «cow's udder».

### note

Use «an»: «an udder». Plural «udders». Myth: cows do not make milk all the time without having calves. Do not mix up with «utter» (complete, total: utter nonsense; or to speak), which sounds a bit similar.

### In the corpora

- [Many cows now walk into a milking robot all by themselves, because it means a tasty snack and a lighter udder.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/341-where-milk-comes-from-cow-to-carton-cheese-butter-and-yoghurt/3/)
