    If your point was that a horse's udders are small compared to a cow's,
why did you say: 'One gets an udder, the other doesn't.'?  The difference
in size is really pretty small (unless you're talking about milch cows,
which have been bred for large udders for centuries.).  Would you say:
'One gets a neck, the other doesn't.' just because a horse's neck is longer?
