APPENDIX II
Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (below
diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine
evaluation for Guernsey conformation traits of
August 2003; sire standard deviation estimates are
determined on a de-standardized transmitting ability scale. Countries not
submitting data for a trait, or where data are excluded from the
evaluation, have blank rows and columns.
