    Horses don't have udders?  You should get away from your terminal
more often, Paul.  Get out and see some real animals.  And just in case
you're wondering why you never see udders in the westerns, it's because
they're pretty small (compared to a cow's) unless they've given birth
fairly recently, in which case they are unlikely to be starring in
cowboy movies.
