As a nurse cow her udder may cause a problem because of the stress of nursing a calf. As an embryo recip. the udder doesn't matter, other then for the nursing aspect, the calf bed, i.e. uterus, etc is whats important. Plus she must be cycling reliably and consistantly so that the embryo can be transferred at the right time. Only a vet or embryologist can determine if she is suitable. Too, ET calves tend to be larger then natural calves so it depends on what breed you will be using. But remember, free advice sometimes isn't what you pay for it.
