Abstract excerpt
This study compared the accuracy of several models for obtaining genetic evaluations of calving difficulty. The models were univariate threshold animal (TAM), threshold sire-maternal grandsire (TSM), linear animal (LAM), and linear sire-maternal grandsire (LSM) models and bivariate threshold-line...
