Total variance and ratios of variances associated to the random effect of sire, farrowing group, and residual in three estimated models for trait of: TNB, LS5, and LS21

	TNB		LS5		LS21
Sire	0.66	5.3%	0.41	4.0%	0.39	3.8%
{Pietrain}	{0.10}	–	{0.30}	–	{0.30}	–
{Duroc}	{1.11}	–	{0.23}	–	{0.19}	–
Farrowing group	0.03	0.2%	0.10	1.0%	0.14	1.4%
Residual, %	11.81	94.5%	9.67	95.0%	9.60	94.8%
Total	12.50	100.0%	10.18	100.0%	10.13	100.0%

Variances from models that allow for estimates of different variances within Pietrain sires and Duroc sires are shown in brackets {}.
