Yes, of course! A cow isn't a cow without an udder now is she?
Udder size is heritable, yes. This is quantified by milk production: as we've seen in dairy cows, the larger the udder the more milk a cow will (or should) produce.
when judging a dairy cow there a 5 main points that judges look for. they are the udder, dairy character, frame, feet and legs and also their body capacity. the udder on a cow 'in milk' needs to be full, have strong veining, a well smoothing fore udder, high and wide rear udder and a clearly defined seam.
That all depends on her breed and her body type. If she typically looks thin and sports a large udder between her legs, then it's likely that she is a dairy cow. If she is more blockier, not quite as thin and sports a smaller udder, then she would be a beef cow.
The cow's opening, or udder, is important in dairy farming because it is where the milk is produced and stored. Milking the cow allows farmers to collect the milk for processing and consumption. Proper care and maintenance of the udder is essential for ensuring the health and productivity of the cow in producing high-quality milk.
Calves suckle from their mother's udder, which is the organ where milk is generated and obtained by the calf or the milk machine (if the cow's a dairy cow).
The teats on the udder.
The udder will only swell, the cow is dropping her milk into the milk cisterns in the udder for the calf to suckle.

Not exactly. A cow can have a large udder yet produce a little amount of milk if she is either under stress or is not being fed properly. However, it is definitely true that a cow with a larger udder will be more productive in terms of milking ability than a cow with a smaller udder.
The udder, just like in a cow. The udder is stationed in the same area as a cow's, only there are just two teats, not four, on that udder.
Basically put the skinniest, tallest cow first and the fat short one last. Udder is very important! Judging "dairy" is a subjective thing, based upon experience and/or courses. Many factors affect "dairy". Spring of rib Dairy "character" Length of body and it's component parts. Size, structure, appearance and how well the udder is attached. And on, and on, and on.
When the cow's udder is full and heavy, it needs to be milked.
