APPENDIX III

Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (below diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine evaluation for Jersey conformation traits of August 2002; 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.
