  1. Heritabilities and genetic correlations were estimated using either the routine high density bovine SNP chip (HD) or 50,000 selected sequence variants (SEQ). Heritabilities were estimated using Australian (\({h}_{AUS}^{2}\)) or New Zealand (\({h}_{NZL}^{2}\)) data. Estimates are followed by their standard error
