gEBV = genomic estimated breeding values provided from the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding; positive values indicate that cows are expected to produce more milk, fat or protein than the average cow born in 2010 and negative values indicate cows expected to produce less. Milk, fat and protein yields (kg) are standardized to a constant 305 day parity length and age [54]
