(Co)variance Components for Birth and Weaning Weights of Shorthorn Beef Cattle in Australia and the United States

(Co)variance Components for Birth and Weaning Weights of Shorthorn Beef Cattle in Australia and the United States

(Co)variance components and genetic parameters for birth (BW) and weaning weights (WW) of Shorthorn beef cattle in Australia (AU) and the United States (US) were estimated using Restricted Maximum Likelihood. Five different uni- and bivariate models were used to fit both traits within each country....
