Abstract excerpt
Liveweight (LWT) data for Australian Holstein cows was predicted from different type traits based on actual LWT and type data of 932 cows collected from 20 different herds over a 3-yr period.

The future predictive ability of different models was assessed using 10-fold cross-validation. The...
