Data from the American Angus Association, American Gelbvieh Association, and the North American Limousin Foundation were analyzed to determine whether parental genetic differences are associated with Mendelian sampling of their bull progeny or with Mendelian sampling variances and weight variances of their bull progeny's offspring. Parental differences were measured as the difference between the parents' EPD for...
