Answer 4

According to the translator above you can use "chupar", according to a dictionnary on my comp, you can use "ordeñar". Now, just wait for people who are sure of the answer...

Great suggestions, lydia! Thanks! - SonrisaDelSol, Feb 19, 2012

I think that it is the new born calves that do the "chupando"sorry that was just my attempt at a joke but I may be right, many a true word spoken in guest. - kenwilliams, Feb 19, 2012
