  1. Within the breed: heritabilities (on diagonal, in italic), genetic correlations estimated from bi-variate linear mixed model (lower diagonal) and genomic correlations estimated from signed t-values of all SNPs between traits (upper diagonal) which was matrix V in within-breed multi-trait meta-analysis
  2. Standard errors are in parenthesis
  3. FRONT front leg quality, BACK back quality, HIND hind leg quality, CONF overall conformation
