Abstract excerpt

Data from four closely related Line 1 Hereford herds were used to estimate variance components and predict EPD for birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), and postweaning gain (PWG). Herds were located in diverse environments and differed in level of phenotypic performance. Within-herd BWT anal...
