^a1 = cows were removed from the herd upon their second incidence of failure to wean a calf, regardless of reason, through 6 yr; 2 = cows were scored as culled upon their first failure to wean a calf, regardless of reason, through 6 yr; 3 = cows were scored as culled upon their first failure to give birth to a calf, through 6 yr; 4 = cows were scored as culled upon their first incidence of failure to wean a calf, but not considering calving failure as a reason, through 6 yr; 5 = cows were scored as culled upon their first instance of failing to wean a calf, provided that they had no prior instances of calving failure, through 6 yr.

^bFalse discovery rate = 0.15.

^cProportion of variance explained.
