6. A bull was 28 kg heavier than the mean of his drop (the mean is 280Kg) for yearling weight. The heritability (h²) of the trait is 0.4 a) What is the estimated breeding value of this bull? (remember to give units) b) If he is mated to a cow, which was 12Kg heavier than her contemporaries, what is the expected yearling weight of any bull calves they have?
