APPENDIX II
Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (below diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine
evaluation for Guernsey conformation traits of November 2002; sire standard deviation estimates are determined
on a destandardized transmitting ability scale. Countries
not submitting data for a trait, or where data are excluded from the evaluation, have blank rows and columns.
