Contribution of herd characteristics to best linear unbiased estimates of slaughter traits in beef cattle

Genetic evaluations separate phenotypes into their contributing additive genetic effects and non-(additive) genetic effects, with the former termed best linear unbiased predictions, and the latter termed best linear unbiased estimates (BLUEs). For the purpose of the present study, genetic evaluation...
