  1. 1genetic correlations above diagonal; 2phenotypic correlations below diagonal; 3IBK = infectious bovine keratoconjuctivitis (0/1); BWT = birth weight (kg); WWT = weaning weight (kg); YWT = yearling weight (kg); FWT = final weight (kg); EPG = cube root transformed mean helminth egg count; TKC = log10 (mean tick count + 1); standard errors are in parentheses.
