Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (above

of August 2003; sire standard deviation estimates are determinedon a
de-standardized transmittingability scale.

Run-number: Run1 =based on milk somatic cell information from all countries
  with this information available
Run2 =based on clinical mastitis from countries with this
  information available, and on milk somatic cell information
  for all other countries. Note that Run2 was not carried out
  for BSW and GUE since none of the participating countries
  provided clinical mastitis information.
