merit and the effect of the environment.

Can be estimated from an individual's performance and the performance of
its relatives.
Addition of information from relatives will always increase confidence in an
estimate of breeding value.
-Individual's own performance - -Single most important price of into for
estimating breeding value.
Accuracy can be increased by measuring progeny or sibs.

until numerous records on relatives have been obtained.

during and animal's lifetime.
