Hi Troy,

re: steers & udders

I don't know the answer to that one either, but here's some interesting trivia next time you're at a cocktail party ...

My sister-in-law's ex was a dairyman. He had a bull called a "sidewinder". Now, I swear, this is true ... they had relocated the bull's "equipment" so it pointed out to the side, instead of in the usual direction. Then they used this sidewinder to identify cows in heat. The poor slob would mount 'em, but couldn't do much of anything about it. Talk about one of the world's worst jobs!

Troy, I've never heard an udder utter a word.

Udders are utterly different. Udders have their protrusions squeezed. Utterances can also be squeezed, but only through clenched teeth.

It may be a surprise for modern folk to learn that the possessors of udders, when fresh, like to have their protrusions squeezed ... particularly if their offspring are not allowed to squeeze the protrusions with their talented tongues. (Fresh, in this context, is not the same as "Fresh!" as expressed by someone like Jane or Colleen ... whether complaining or inviting. Fresh, as used here, means "recently delivered of offspring"). In such situations, the squeezer is not necessarily teasing the squeezee.

Seen in this light, one can discern that squeezing an udder (or the protrusions therefrom) is not even close to an utterance squeezed.

In closing, I'd better admit that in my years of squeezing udder's protrusions, I was known to utter occasional comments when an udder's owner whopped me in the face with her tail ... which had lain in the trough all night. (If you don't know what the trough is, don't ask.)
