Estimates of (co)variances (kg²), heritabilities and genetic correlations for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and yearling weight (YW) in the multiple trait model.

σ² = variances and σ = covariances. BW = genetic direct effect for birth weight, BW_M = genetic maternal effect for birth weight, Log L = logarithm of the Likelihood function, WW = genetic direct effect for weaning weight, WW_M = genetic maternal effect for weaning weight and YW = genetic direct effect for yearling weight.
