APPENDIX I
                                             
Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (above
diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine evaluation for udder health traits
of November 2004; sire standard deviation estimates are determined on a
de-standardized transmitting ability 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.
