  1. 1IBK = infectious bovine keratoconjuctivitis incidence; TKC = log10 (mean tick count + 1); EPG = cube-root mean worm egg counts, weaning weight at 6 months of age, yearling weight at 12 months of age and final weight at 18 months of age; *heritability estimate based on liability scale for binomial distribution.
