  1. *Average of residual variance estimates for the eight lactation period classes: 8–49, 50–91, 92–133, 134–175, 176–217, 218–259, 260–301, and 302–340 days of lactation. The estimates of residual variances are for test-day milk yield in kg/dayay, whereas the genetic, PE, and herd variances are on the LP scale. The standard error of the estimates is given in brackets
