Regression coefficients of validation records on GEBV when validation was on CB offspring averages or individual CB records, the reference population consisted of CB animals, and BOA was ignored or considered. The x-axis represents the regression coefficient when ignoring BOA and the y-axis represents the regression coefficient when considering BOA. Panels refer to validation on CB offspring averages or individual CB records across rows, and to body weight measured at around 7 (BW7) or 35 (BW35) days across columns. Dots represent individual validation correlations of 100 replicates, and straight lines indicate x = y
