PM, posterior mean estimate; PSD, posterior standard deviation; HPD95, highest posterior density at 95%;${\sigma }_u^2$, additive genetic variance, ${\sigma }_m^2$, maternal environmental variance, ${\sigma }_{um}^{}$, covariance between them, ${\sigma }_p^2$, permanent maternal environmental variance, ${\sigma }_h^2$, herd-year-season variance, ${\sigma }_w^2$, transgenerational epigenetic variance, and ${\sigma }_e^2$, residual variance. Moreover, h², heritability, $m^2$, maternal heritability, ${\gamma }^2$, transgenerational epigenetic heritability, λ, autorecursive parameter, v, reset coefficient, and 1 − v, epigenetic transmission coefficient. LogCPO, logarithm of the conditional predictive ordinate.
