Abstract excerpt
Information on mature weight, hip height, and body condition score from Angus cows was analyzed to estimate variance components and compare prediction models. Observations from repeated measures were analyzed with animal models with or without condition score as a covariate and with or without an effect for permanent environment. Heritability (repeatability) estimates for mature weight, hip height, and condition...
