In this dataset approximately 47% and 53% of the animals studied had multiple records for
fleece weight and fibre diameter respectively (Table 2). On average animals had 1.7 age
expressions recorded for each trait. Furthermore 91% and 94% of the sires had progeny recorded
across multiple age expressions for fleece weight and fibre diameter respectively.
