APPENDIX V

Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (below diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine evaluation for Red Dairy Cattle conformation traits of April 2008; 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.
