  1. Average rank correlations based on estimated breeding values (BV) from model A (additive effects only) and total genetic values (BV + DV) from model A + D (additive and dominance effects) for calving interval (CI), milk, fat and protein yield in Holstein and Jersey cows based on fivefold cross validation across different percentages of selection
  2. Standard errors (SE) in parentheses
