Merino Correlations

I was prompted to look back into the correlations of wrinkle and fat with other traits today for a couple of different reasons today. To have a look at what the general population is doing, I normally download the ASBVs of accurate animals in the Merino Select database. On this occasion, I downloaded the data of sires that had at least 30 progeny and had also been genotyped so it should be fairly accurate. For those who love a correlation, have a look at this. Worth noting that I generated this in neXtSelect, such a great tool for visualising data. We often use if in clients’ data to see strengths and weaknesses while designing indexes.
