Actually a story by Piers Anthony. Bred for milk production, so had huge
mammaries. It's in one of his anthologies, of stories he had difficulty
publishing. I don't recall the title. Also in anthology were stories
about the 7 cardinal sins, joys of a masochistic torture addict, and one
title I do recall, "Up Schist Creek", which had a mildly scatalogic
finale.
