KRT, keratin; GF, genotype frequency; SL, staple length; WCS, wool crimps score; NC, number of crimps; WF, wool fineness; BS, body size; LWAS, live weight after shearing; GW, greasy weight; FD, fiber diameter; CV, coefficient of variation.

^a,b,c,d

Values with different superscripts within the same line differ significantly at p<0.05.

Values in bold indicate that the combined genotypes were significantly associated with corresponding wool traits (p<0.05).
