Abstract excerpt
Maintaining genetic variation in a population is important for long-term genetic gain. The existence of subpopulations within a breed helps maintain genetic variation and diversity. The 20,990 genotyped animals, representing the breeding animals in the year 2014, were identified as the sires of animals born after 2010 with at least 25 progenies, and females measured for type traits within the last 2 yr of data....
