Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for weaning weight of Simmental cattle from data without selective reporting and to examine heterogeneity of parameters with a multiple trait approach. Heterogeneity of (co)variance components (VC) by sex is accounted for in national genetic evaluations for Simmental cattle. Completely reported data were split into bull, heifer, and steer...
