Thank you, for coming back to tell us, I never would have guessed rudamentry = not fully developed; incomplete.See there we can learn new things.

Thanks for posting your professor’s answer. As one who tried for those extra points also, I empathize with you.I did another quick search and think that rudimentary mammae , is more scientifically accurate and then on ANS 434: Mammary Gland Anatomy, Univ. Southern Illinois, http://www.siu.edu/~tw3a/434anat.htm A. Teat--Cows, Sheep, Goats, Horses

My hubby the hog geneticist will tell you very quickly--- THEY ARE NOT USELESS!!! Teats on boar are an indication of what he will pass on to his daughters. If he only has a few or not correctly placed or shaped--- chances are very good he will only pass on a few or ones that are not correctly placed or shaped. Not a good thing in the hog world if you are keeping his daghters for replacement females.

Hmmmm interesting. Wonder if there is any connection to the teats, well, swollen teats or half an udder in goats. Our buck is a milky buck, has swollen teats and the recently I was clipping him, last summer. I picked up his rear leg and lo % behold, he had half an udder. Milky bucks are said to throw good milkers and lots od does. I think its true, our buck has certainly.

I agree, Tana, that any animal of either sex that has malformed or misplaced teats or any other parts should not be kept as breeding stock.
