Notes:

  1. starting columns allow for an extra blank between all fields
  2. brd and pop must be in upper case
  3. trt must be in lower case
  4. YYYY: year of the most recent routine genetic evaluation run whose results will be included in the international evaluation

  5. nd1-nd4: number of new (first calving) daughters considered in the last available national genetic evaluation in each year

  6. year1d: mean year of first calving of daughters on which the bull’s national evaluation in year YYYY-4 was based

    • This field is not currently used by the trendtest software because it is not uniformly supplied by all NGECs. The field can be set to '0000'. The software replaces year1d by byear+4.
